Inspired by true stories, In Dear Old England's Name follows the lives of Kitty and Percy, a couple enjoying a wartime romance. Recently married, they head out for an evening at the theatre to see Worcester-born Vesta Tilley, a cross-dressing music hall star famed for her recruitment of men to the war effort. Enthused by Vesta's performance, Percy signs up for the army there and then. But does he realise what he's leaving behind?
