Rose’s War

Step aboard Rose’s War — a heartwarming one-woman show that steers us into the world of Britain’s canal boat women during the Second World War.

It’s 1940. The bombs are falling, the factories roaring, and while the men march off to battle, Rose Ramlin and her husband Syer keep Britain’s lifelines moving — thirty tons of coal at a time. Living, working, and raising a family in a cabin no bigger than a garden shed, Rose embodies the grit, humour, and fierce pride of the women who kept the boats — and the nation — afloat.

Told with warmth and wit Rose’s War by Alarum Productions captures a time when hard work was plenty, danger was constant, and hope refused to sink.

Includes admission to the Longest Yarn Exhibition afterwards.
