A true story of high treason, espionage, spam fritters. The only British person to be tried for treason in World War 2…
Join Mabel on Sandown Beach with her secateurs, sequinned tassels and heartfelt - if misguided - self-belief. Standing Ovation Nominee for Best Solo Show.  

Based on a true story and adapted from the novel by James Friel, ‘Careless Talk’ charts the tale of Mabel Bancroft, an Isle of Wight landlady, charged with treason for spying in the Second World War. Was Mabel a collaborator? A visionary? A victim?

This tale opens a dialogue on the justice system in this country; who does it protect, how and why?
