Barnfield Theatre presents
D-Day Darlings






16th March 2012
7.30pm
£12.00 (Concessions: £11.00)
Auditorium

The show is set in 1939 in the heart of wartime Britain, featuring “The D-Day Darlings”, a vocal-harmony trio of the era and “Mr. John Adams”, an Actor & Director and soldier of war…

The Story begins as we hear the Declaration of War speech on the wireless as the Darlings say goodbye to their life-long friend John, who packs up his troubles and goes to fight for his country. Before John leaves, he see’s an advertisement in the Times newspaper from ENSA (the agency providing entertainment to the troops in WW2) and promises the Darlings he will write to them and tell them about the wonderful “D-Day Darlings”… Could this be their big break?

As the story un-folds we see the Darlings at home, working hard to keep the spirits of the nation bright with their songs whilst supporting the homeland. John returns from the Army with the news the Darlings have been waiting for - a request for them to perform in the “greatest show on earth” for our forces around the world!

The story is pieced together with a plethora of the most popular and beautiful music of the 1940’s wartime era featuring songs by Vera Lynn, Gracie fields, Bing Crosby, The Andrew sisters, Frank Sinatra and more.

With a series of Authentic costume changes to add that authentic 40’s glamour and a dazzling back drop of original film footage from the era, the show brings the spirit of wartime Britain alive and brings back fond memories for all.
