One of the most uplifting stories ever written, Michelle Magorian's stunning novel is brought gloriously to life with this brand new stage adaptation by David Wood -- the UK's "National Children's Dramatist" (The Times).

Set during the dark and dangerous build up to the Second World War, Goodnight Mister Tom follows sad William Beech, who is evacuated to the idyllic English countryside and builds a remarkable and moving friendship with the elderly recluse Tom Oakley (played by the Olivier award winning Oliver Ford Davies from Star Wars and Kavanagh QC). All seems perfect until William is devastatingly summoned back to London by his mother. A tale of two broken souls at opposite ends of the age scale, Goodnight Mister Tom celebrates the value of love and proves that friendship knows no barriers.

Goodnight Mister Tom, first published in the UK in 1981, is an enduring classic for both children and adults and has sold more than 1.2 million copies in the UK alone. The BAFTA Award-winning TV version starring John Thaw attracted 14 million viewers. This brand new production marking the 30th anniversary of its publication is a heart-warming and inspiring evening, perfect for schools and families alike.

"A marvellous story that know just how to grab the emotions" The Guardian

Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and commended for the Carnegie Medal.
