By the time you read this, Easter will be behind us, together with the “wonderful” weather that usually accompanies it?
That said, come rain or shine, we are here to
entertain the kids with shows that meet the curriculum standard and offer a
wide range of entertainment.
The 80th celebration of V.E. Day was widely
successful with many schools enjoying our play and the workshops.
We were fortunate enough to have some true veterans in
some of the audiences, and I noticed the odd tear when our actors brought back
memories from the past. I would just mention that as a war baby, I recall the
incendiary bomb through my bedroom. Thankfully, our family was sheltering at
the time, and the fire brigade quickly extinguished the fire.
I guess the memory lingered for several years while my
determined mother fought the War Damage Commission to eventually obtain
compensation.
I am intrigued that the subject World War II is taught
to children who have absolutely no concept of what was happening by teachers
who equally had never suffered the experience. I guess that is why our
performance is so successful. It really brings it to life, particularly the Anne
Frank scene at the end.
Until next time, take a look at some of the pictures.
