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. |
