The year is 1943 and the Allies are losing the war.

Can’t recommend highly enough - a superb show in all respects. A masterclass in acting, singing, timing, movement, diction. Brilliant lyrics, great set; funny and also very moving at times. I see a lot of shows and this is by far the best of the year Read more
