‘Western Approaches’ a play by Kit Barry, Orpington

‘Chelsfield Players’ will be performing ‘Western Approaches’ by Kit Barry, a play which tells the story of The Western Approaches Tactical Unit (WATU) which was created in January 1942 to develop new tactics to counter German submarine attacks on trans-Atlantic convoys. It was led by Captain Gilbert Roberts and was principally staffed by Wrens. Their primary tool for studying U-boat attacks and developing countermeasures was wargames.
The play will be performed 5th to 7th June at 8pm in the Village Hall, Chelsfield. More details can be found on www.chelsfieldplayers.org
