Lotty's War, starring Olivia Hallinan, Mark Letheren and Adam Gillen, opens at Guildford's Yvonne Arnaud Theatre on 3 September ahead of its West End Transfer.
Directed by Bruce Guthrie, Lotty's War is set during the occupation of the Channel Islands in WWII, the only piece of Britain captured by the Nazis.
Based on recently discovered diaries, Lotty's War is a fascinating story of love, courage and betrayal written by Guernsey-born Giuliano Crispini.
On 28 June 1940, a squadron of German bombers raided the main harbour of Guernsey killing 44 islanders, including Lotty's Dad. With the last boat to England gone and the German Army taking hold, Lotty is housed in close quarters with the enemy.
This forgotten chapter of British history is brought to the stage by Olivia Hallinan, Mar Letheren and Adam Gillen.
After Guildford, the productions tours to Malvern, Eastbourne, Manchester, Cheltenham, Richmond, Billingham, Dartford and Exeter before transferring to London.
