Theatre company Old School Players present 'Six Serpents and a Tarantula', a new play telling the bloody true story of the Woman in Blue.

Arland Town. Wyoming. The year of our Lord 1888

Five brothel girls meet to play a dangerous game. They are telling the true story of the Woman in Blue, what was done to her, and what she did in revenge. Who plays who is down to chance.

Critically-acclaimed all-female theatre company Old School Players brings us an old west tale of vengeance and love, treading softly on the graves of those whose everyday existence was a dance with death.

With 120 possible casting combinations, the five players decide who steps into whose boots with a spinning gun at each performance.

The performance takes place on Saturday, August 7 at 6pm in St John the Baptist Church.

St John the Baptist Church is situated on Plush Manor near Dorchester.

Food and drink will be available onsite after the show.

The church is wheelchair accessible. Please let the organiser know your access needs by emailing [email protected] beforehand so they can accommodate.

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Please be aware that this show contains domestic violence, swearing and drug use with references to abortion and suicide. Recommended age limit is 15+
