In 1945 Sheila and Bridie were freed from a Japanese POW camp.
Now after a half-century separation, the filming of a TV documentary forces them to relive the past. Woven into their fifty years of separation are a shoe-horn and the threads of loyalty and love which form their ‘uncommon bond’.

This production of ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ makes me delighted to be a reviewer. It’s refreshing and a little uncommon to have absolutely nothing but praise for a show. It deserves to have overflowing houses, which unfairly, was not the case the night I went.
..
Do your best to see this production. You’ll be very glad you did.

The Shoehorn Sonata tells the extraordinary story of two women whose lives were forever changed by the atrocities of war. It’s confronting, thought-provoking, educational and, at times, entertaining – beautifully balanced with some laughs, poignant tear-jerking moments and facts that elicit an audible gasp.
Definitely worth checking out.
