Blitz n Pieces
(The wars years 1939 -45)
A fascinating look at life during world war two as seen through the eyes of our loveable elderly eastenders Bert and Elsie.
Like many people of their generation they love to reminisce about the war years.
So let Bert and Elsie take you back in time and you will see them as they were when they were young…… sitting by the wireless waiting to hear Mr Chamberlain’s speech on that fateful day Sunday 3rd September 1939…….
Share with them the good times, bad times, hardships and heartaches as they struggle to learn how to cope with ration books, the Blitz, the Battle of Britain, the Blackout, gas masks, a terrifying Sergeant Major, the evacuation of children and the loss of loved ones all washed down with “ A nice cup of tea!!! “
Originally commisioned by a school to celebrate the 50th anniversary of VE day way back in 1995 it has been so popular it has remained in the repertoire ever since!!
Please join in with our medley of wartime songs - "Pack up your troubles" "You are my sunshine" and "It's a long way to Tipperary"!
Lots of facts , fun and music in this show which will both educate and entertain your children and give staff plenty of scope for follow up work.
