Based on a true story from World War Two, 'Star Of Strait Street' takes us back to the wild days of Valletta's notorious red-light district.
Glamorous dancer and show-girl Christina Ratcliffe arrives in Malta to entertain the troops. Then she meets a daredevil RAF pilot. And the rest is history!
Christina volunteers with Fighter Control in the secret underground world of the Lascaris War Rooms, becoming Captain of her Watch. She's awarded the British Empire Medal, and becomes a war hero in her own right, known as 'Christina of George Cross Island'.
Starring Polly March, Larissa Bonaci and Geoff Thomas, this one-act musical by Philip Glassborow is sponsored by The Mackintosh Foundation.
Only four performances in London - two for Voila Europe Theatre Festival at Applecart Arts in Upton Park, E13 (Friday 9, Saturday 10 November) and two at OSO Arts Centre in Barnes Green, SW13 (Tuesday 13, Wednesday 14 November).
