“the applause [was] prolonged and heartfelt” – Cultured. North East
"heartfelt and poignant" - Break A Leg
**********
As World War Two looms, young William Beech is evacuated to the English countryside where he is billeted with elderly recluse Tom Oakley.
This unlikely pairing gradually form a friendship, finding that neither are how they seem at first glance. Life seems perfect until William is devastatingly called back to London by his mother.
Michelle Magorian’s heartwarming and timeless story is brought to life in this adaptation by David Wood.
A celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and a testament to the enduring power of kindness, compassion, and how love can heal even the deepest wounds.
A play for all the family. Winner, 2013 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment and Family.
