"I just hope that in capturing these stories that we've done something to archive working class, women's experience and that it'll be there if people wanna watch it or read it. We've done our bit and we can use the methods to look at any issue we want" - Paula Boulton

It is  a discussion between playwright and theatre director Paula Boulton (67) and three members of her Corby Women's Theatre Group.
