Firstly; hats off to Newcastle for having the courage to present this difficult and little known musical, it's great to see a local society doing something different. It's a touching and involving story of evacuated children in the second world war and revolves around two boys, William and Zacharias superbly played by Raif Clarke and Dominic Steele who both showed the adults how to handle the testing music. Mike Johnson and Rosemary Hulme as Mister Tom and William's mother were also excellent. Congratulations to all involved.
