Poles Apart

Written by Anna Burns and Jacqui Burns

Narrated by Charlotte Strevens

The Pembrokeshire village of Morlan is a beautiful place to live, but breathtaking views of the Welsh coastline aside, four of the female residents find themselves stuck in a painful rut. The arrival of pole dancing exercise classes in the village hall offers each of them a chance to bond and discover previously hidden strengths. Gwen seems to have it all but how will she cope when her marriage hits the rocks? Meg would love not to be single, but her recent operation has left her confidence shot to pieces. Recently widowed Ivy is fed up with following the rules, but at 72 can she really change her ways? Mum of two Summer is desperate for some time to herself outside her home. Together the group form a bond of friendship that will help them face the trials and tribulations in their personal lives.
