A new radio play, set during World War 2, is coming to Weymouth this autumn starring an array of well-known soap stars.
Crime and Comedy Theatre company will be performing the new play The Lion and the Unicorn at Weymouth Pavilion at 7.30pm on Thursday October 3 as part of a tour across the UK.
It features a star studded cast including Brian Capron, Tim Hudson, Corrinne Wicks, Sarah Gain and Frazer Hines.
The play follows a private dinner between Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain and their wives Clementine and Anne on an evening in 1939 – six weeks after war has been declared. The only time history tells us all four met, with no official record of what transpired.
The setting is a radio studio with the actors ready as if for a live broadcast. Sound effects will be created live on stage to transport audiences back to wartime London.
Tickets cost £22.50 and are available to buy on the Weymouth Pavilion website: https://weymouthpavilion.com/shows/the-lion-and-the-unicorn/
