We Happy Few

Belmont Theatre is planning to perform 'We Happy Few', by Imogen Stubbs, to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day, during May 2020.

The play was inspired by the true story of a group of actresses, who formed a travelling theatre company during the second World War to bring culture and entertainment to parts of the country that were war-torn and deprived of such events. The story follows the formation of the company and their life ‘on the road’. It includes excerpts from a number of plays, including Shakespeare and Shaw, as well as music, with a few songs and dance numbers.

Our directors expects this to a be good fun show, which is also a fitting tribute to the VE Day celebrations.

Performance dates are scheduled for 21 - 24 October (four evenings and one Saturday matinee performance).
