Adiza Shardow The World Première Of Kate Bowen's CLOSE QUARTERS

Sheffield Theatres and Out of Joint today announce that Adiza Shardow joins the company of Close Quarters playing Private Sarah Findlay. She joins Bradley Banton (Lieutenant Adeyemi), Chloe-Ann Tylor (Private Gillian Cormack), Dylan Wood (Private Brian Armstrong), Sophie Melville (Private Clare Davies) and Kathryn O'Reilly (Captain Anna Sands) in Kate Wasserberg's production. The production will resume from 27 October.

"You were the only folk out of five thousand who got through - you're legit badass."

Cormack, Findlay and Davies are the elite. They are the first generation of female soldiers to serve in the British infantry in close combat roles, ever. They've aced physical tests only 5% of female soldiers can pass; they've been trained to shoot, fight and kill. They've proven their exceptional skill and discipline - while everyone around them questions whether they should even be allowed to serve. And now they're about to join the action.

Kate Bowen's taut, funny and powerful play follows three very different, pioneering young women in the world's most dangerous workplace.

Adiza Shardow make her professional stage debut playing Sarah Findlay. For television, her work includes Adulting, River City, Waterloo Road; and for film, Hillcorn Park and Cola Dan.
