A Bustle, A Corset, & The London Necropolis Express

HWMS Audio Theatre

We know the story.

Three women.

A London Office.

A missing colleague.

And a pandemic.

Three women wake one morning to discover that a colleague has vanished in the night. Gone. Poof. Not a bit of a trace.

The clue to the story lies in a play that has just opened in a London Theatre. The missing colleague has vanished into the world of that play and has become engaged in a grand debate about the roles of women in modern society.

But the three women in the office are not part of the debate. They are earning a living. They are caring for family. They trying to decide what they need to do today in order to be ready for tomorrow, while worrying about their friend.

A play about the world of George Bernard Shaw and Karl Pearson that takes no guff from either.
