In February and March Duckegg Theatre Company is touring its brand new family musical, Leave Hitler to Me, Lad, by award-winning playwright Haley Cox and LA composer Ben Pringle (previous credits include Buffy the Vampire Slayer), designed by the critically acclaimed Barney George.
During its première run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival the piece was named “...the most sensitive and well-written family show at the festival” by Broadway Baby.
The cast mixes four professional actors (including Spotlight Prize nominee James Mountain and Kivan Dene of Emmerdale fame) with six of the company’s youth theatre members. Sean Green of the Bill Kenwright Company leads musical direction.
Based on a true story, it tells the tale of a lost generation of children in the aftermath of World War Two.
