Fire Embers Ash screening
Sunday, 5 January, 6 pm
This time last year, Threedumb Theatre brought 'Fire Embers Ash' to Barons Court Theatre, where it was awarded a Finalist badge in the category of 'Most Innovative Production' at the 2024 London Pub Theatres Standing Ovation Awards.
On Sunday 5th January, Threedumb Theatre will be screening their Digital Theatre Version of 'Fire Embers Ash' back in our theatre as a fundraiser for their company. Tickets are available on a pay-what-you-can basis
The screening (65 minutes) will be followed by a post-show Q&A with director Stephen Smith and members of the cast and creative team.
Join us to honor these unsung heroes, and witness a story that soars beyond the stars.
Fire Embers Ash
An Extraordinary True Story of Courage and Flight
Set during the height of World War II, Fire Embers Ash takes you into the heart of one of the most daring and groundbreaking military operations in history. The Soviet Union's unprecedented creation of an all-female aviation regiment, known as the "Night Witches," is brought to life in this gripping new production by Threedumb Theatre.
Follow five fearless women as they soar into the skies, outmaneuvering the enemy and defying gender expectations. This is the true story of bravery, sisterhood, and resilience, as they battle both the Nazis and the harshest of conditions—all while forging bonds that will change their lives forever.
