THEATRE: 'WPC1'
6-7 November | 7.30pm | Queens Park Arts Centre
Written by Dario Knight
Directed by Lilly Connors
In 1945, Olive Kemp became WPC1 – the first woman police constable in Buckinghamshire. She quickly made the news thanks to her accomplishments and commendations… but the story the press told of her career isn’t quite the truth.
Now living in retirement, Olive finds herself looking back at the landmarks in her career, and the legacy of what it meant to be WPC1.
Based on true local history, this new one-act play performed as part of this year's Buckinghamshire History Festival - a month-long celebration of our county's fantastic heritage.

If they succeed, then - as Scrooge is about to discover - more than one lost soul might be saved in time for Christmas Day...
