WCT Performances around Wimborne on D-Day Thursday 6th June

22 Dec 2024

To commemorate the 80th Anniversary of D-Day on Thursday 6th June, WCT performed "Let 'em Have It", a short piece of theatre telling a local story.  The performance was repeated 5 times in different locations around Wimborne.

We could be found at the Jubilee Gardens behind the Town Hall, the Royal British Legion, the Minster Green, the Museum of East Dorset and Willow Walk.

As well as reflecting on the impact on the town of this historic event, the play told the true story of Frank and Betty Rattley, the parents of one of our members, Clare Small.  Frank sailed to Normandy from Falmouth on June 6th, leaving Betty behind to continue her work in a munitions factory in Bournemouth.
