Emma Reeves' adaptation of Nina Bawden's best-selling book, Carrie's War, transfers to the Apollo Theatre following a sensational run at Sadler's Wells.
When the Second World War air raids threaten their safety in the city, Carrie and her brother are evacuated to a small Welsh village. But the countryside has dangers and adventures of its own - and a group of characters who will change Carrie's life for ever. There's mean Mr Evans, kind Auntie Lou, brilliant young Albert Sandwich and Mr Johnny, who speaks a language all of his own. Then there's Hepzibah Green the witch at Druids Grove, and the ancient skull with its terrifying curse...
Starring Prunella Scales, Kacey Ainsworth, James Beddard, Sarah Edwardson, Amanda Symonds, Daniel Llewelyn-Williams, Siôn Tudor Owen, John Heffernan and James Joyce, this poignant, funny and uplifting production vividly captures the tale of two siblings as they negotiate a life-changing lesson in loyalty, fear, myth and magic.
