Play description:
Work, love and life are just one long, hard slog for the fish-filleting foursome Pearl, Jan, Shelley and Linda. But their fortunes change when Linda finds tickets to Ladies’ Day at Royal Ascot – and it happens to be the year it has relocated to York!
Out go the hairnets, overalls and wellies as the four ditch work, do themselves up to the nines and head off to the races for a drink, a flirt and a flutter. If their luck holds they could hit the jackpot – and more besides…
 
This is an amusing story of four friends who bunk off work in a fish factory to go to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot for a bit of fun – but also find themselves going on personal journeys of self-discovery. Friendships are strengthened. Fears are faced. It is funny but also very moving.
 
This play is set in Hull in 2005.

The Settlement Players wish everyone a happy and safe 2022.
