Show Details
Following the success of its 2006 premiere production, the acclaimed stage adaptation of Nina Bawden's award-winning classic comes to the West End this summer.
Carrie's War is the timeless tale of the adventures of Carrie Willow; a young girl evacuated from London during World War II. Packed off to the Welsh mining valleys with her younger brother Nick, she must adjust to life without her parents - under the guardianship of the dictatorial Mr. Evans and his sister.
Returning as an adult, Carrie's memories come alive; whisking us on a breathtaking journey into the past...
Meet the colourful and memorable characters she encountered - Mrs. Gotobed, swotty Albert Sandwich, Hepzibah the 'witch' and the eccentric Mister Johnny; explore the freedom of the Welsh countryside, and discover the magic of Druid's Bottom.....and the curse of the magic skull!
While the war rages elsewhere, Carrie has to fight her own personal battles. Her courage and spirit shine forth in this enchanting piece of theatre; bursting with a captivating mix of adventure, pathos and nostalgia that is guaranteed to engage and delight - generation's young and old.
Remember, relive and discover this unforgettable story of one ordinary girl - living and growing up through extraordinary times.
Featuring traditional songs and hymns and performed by a talented cast of nine; including much-loved British actress, Prunella Scales.
