On The Home Front
This light hearted show is subtitled "A look at life in wartime Britain in story & song".
With a cast of three, plus a pianist, the show includes stories of how ordinary people coped with the shortages and tribulations of everyday living in the 1939 - 1945 period.
Stories, newspaper extracts and government announcements evoke a time of rations and blackouts for the Great British public.
Spoken word is interspersed with songs of the period, including many for the audience to sing along with. Song sheets are provided.
"On The Home Front" consists of two parts, each about 40 minutes long. It is suitable for performance in large or small venues.
