Artistic Director, Adam Hemming, chats to Tabitha Radcliffe & Lisa Hazel (ChopLogic Productions), writers and performers of the upcoming show Dots and Dashes.
We discuss interrogating historical source material in order to tell lesser known stories, and making a show which is "too woke" (!), in advance of the run of Dots and Dashes at the Space (playing 3rd - 14th January 2023, including a livestream on the 5th and on demand access for two weeks after that).
“Thousands of lives are depending on us, and we can’t afford to make any mistakes”
At Bletchley Park six young women are working to crack the German codes to aid the allied operation in World War two. A story of love, loss, secrets, and the sacrifices these women made to save millions of lives, to rise above their roles, and silently fight a war behind closed doors.
Entirely self-written and composed by Choplogic Productions Dots and Dashes: A Bletchley Park musical is a production telling the story of the unsung heroes of World War Two. Retelling the male dominated narrative of the war from a female perspective Dots and Dashes is an empowerment of women from then to now.
