The dancer who became a war hero

  • last year
Christina Ratcliffe was a British dancer who went to Malta during World War Two, fell in love and ended up leading the aircraft plotters in the war room.
She also won the British Empire Medal, a tale which will be told on Monday, June 19 at 7.30pm for the Festival of Chichester in The Old Court Room (same building as the Assembly Room), North Street, Chichester.
The play is called Star Of Strait Street and it comes from Winchester-based author Philip Glassboro. The piece comes with music and will be followed by refreshments. It is presented by the Friends of Valletta (suitable for all ages and wheelchair accessible).
