Southwick Players Present:
Goodnight Mr. Tom
by David Wood
September 13-16, 2017
One of the most uplifting stories ever written, Michelle Magorian’s Goodnight Mister Tom is brought gloriously to life in this stage adaptation by David Wood. Set during the dark and dangerous build-up to the Second World War, Goodnight Mister Tom follows sad young William Beech, who is evacuated to the idyllic English countryside and builds a remarkable and moving friendship with the elderly recluse Tom Oakley. All seems perfect until William is devastatingly summoned by his mother back to London.
Goodnight Mister Tom is a tale of two broken souls at very different ends of the age scale that celebrates the value of love and proves that friendship knows no barriers.
Goodnight Mr. Tom is Southwick Players entry for the 2017 Brighton And Hove Arts Council Drama
