A comedy in three acts for women by Stuart Ready, written in 1955 and set in the 1950s.
Ladies at Sea is set in the fictional town of Gatesea, somewhere on the south coast within sight of Brighton Pier, where war-widow Helen Spilsby, and her two adult daughters – all stalwart members of the Townswomen’s Guild - are preparing to help on the annual Lifeboat Day when an unexpected arrival is announced. Thrown into confusion they advertise for help with the housework as they try frantically to prepare for the visitor whilst getting ready for their roles in the Lifeboat Day celebrations.
However, all is not what is seems and, as the plot unfolds, some strange questions emerge that demand answers, and help is sought from the local Ranger Guides. The story twists and turns until the final revelation of who is who and why they are really there.
The all-female cast of Ladies at Sea are: Pam Barker, Katie Bebbington, Paula Firth, Alison Flanders, Felicity Holloway, Yvette Humphries, Christine Metcalfe, Denise Pennington, Doreen Steele, and Anita Thompson.
