About this event
Adapted by David Wood
From the novel by Michelle Magorian
A Minack Theatre Production
As the second world war casts its dark shadow across London, a troubled and terrified young boy is sent to the safety of the countryside, along with hundreds of thousands of others. Ten-year-old William Beech is delivered into the care of gruff and curmudgeonly old widower Tom Oakley. What follows is a heart-warming tale of the blossoming of a friendship that alters both of their lives for ever. William’s new life and the bond he forms with his fellow evacuee and indomitable force of nature Zacharias Wrench seems idyllic until the tragedy of war strikes again, and finally William is forced to return to his abusive mother in London, with devastating consequences for everyone.
David Wood’s superb adaptation of Michelle Magorian’s much loved novel is both joyous and heartbreaking. A brilliant and moving family show.
