THE ELEPHANT GIRLS
Thursday 6 to Saturday 22 April
7.30pm at Draper Hall,  Hampton Street; Tickets from
http://tinyurl.com/zusurzw
Written and performed by Margo MacDonald. This is the
gripping story of the all-female gang which terrorised
London for over 100 years. Clever, organised, devious &
daring; they stole from the rich and gave to themselves. A
fascinating piece of lost women's history, only recently
brought to light, the play focuses on the 1920s when the
gang was at the height of its power - and when the events
took place which would come to mean its downfall.
