May Miller, born into the slums of Portsea, begins work as a maid, in a very ‘respectable’ house. But she soon learns the behaviour of her ‘betters’, leaves much to be desired! A romping, swearing- it’s a naval town, only to be expected! A black comedy set in the last years of the Victorian era. The Blanket Hornpipe brimming with larger than life characters; bestriding the Portsea stage, against a backdrop of vice, and a little virtue –just a little, for decency’s sake!
