A forgotten true story of high treason, espionage, spam fritters. The only British person to be tried for treason in the Second World War takes to the stage for the first time. Was Mabel a collaborator? A visionary? Or just an outsider? Join Mabel on Sandown Beach with her secateurs, sequinned tassels and heartfelt - if misguided - self-belief. With Ali Williams, a versatile hatstand and one stunning frock. Based on the novel 'Careless Talk' by James Friel which was shortlisted for the John Llewelyn Rhys Prize.
‘Careless Talk is a cross between a wonderfully observed Victoria Wood sketch of everyday life and an episode of ‘Dad’s Army’.'
