The Grand Theatre is starting the new year with a musical called ‘The Invisible – The Ungentlemanly Warfare,’ which was almost a full house on its opening night. The play is about the untold stories of seven women during World War II who were a part of the Special Operative Executives. The characters are based on real women who risk their lives for a better future.
