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.
Deputy Mayor Sean Lewis was in attendance to see this all-female cast amongst many others.

Emotions ran high throughout the musical with attendees experiencing laughter, tears, and a profound sense of intensity as the drama unfolded.“I’m surprised it was not sold out, it takes you through different emotions. It was the best show to me personally,” says Londoner.
Ruth Balogun, attending the Grand Theatre for the first time with a friend, found the performance deeply emotional.
“My girlfriend invited me and today’s my first time but I was really emotional during the show. I was literally crying. It got me thinking about my life and figuring out how we can do it. That’s what touches me the most,” says Ruth Balogun
Liliana LaPierre, a Londoner attending with her husband without any expectations, expressed her connection.
“I didn’t know I was coming and I hadn’t heard anything about the play before. I didn’t know exactly what to expect. It connects you emotionally, I cried and laughed at some of the things they said. I just felt this desire to fight for something,” says Liliana LaPierre
