The Quiet Work

The remarkable story of Yorkshirewoman, Dora Walker, staged in a new ballad drama with live music, from award-winning folk musician Clementine Lovell, puppetry and more. Before permission. Before precedent. Dora flew when women didn’t. Drove when they shouldn’t. When the First World War called, she bought an ambulance and drove into danger. Told to retire by the sea, she mastered it instead. Skipper Dora, the first woman to command a North Sea fishing boat. And that was only the beginning: it’s a true story of grit, defiance, kindness and compassion. It’s about a woman who refused the ordinary. The show is suitable for all ages from 6 to 90, with more than usual accessibility to the deaf and hard of hearing. The doors will open at about 18.45 as before the show an exhibition about Dora, produced by Whitby Museum, will available. So, get there early and have a good read!
