Have a fab opening night!

OPENING NIGHT ✈️

Tonight, The Brylcreem Boys begins its summer tour at the Parracombe Arts & Literature Festival.

After months of rehearsals, we’re incredibly excited to finally share this powerful and moving story with an audience. Based on true events, Peter Durrant’s play explores the psychological impact of war through the experiences of RAF airmen recovering after the devastating Nuremberg raid of 1944.

We can’t wait to take to the stage tonight.

We’re absolutely over the moon to have been awarded funding by to deliver a year’s programme of socially engaged theatre in North Devon!

With no time to waste, we’re busy meeting members of our community in conversation about what matters to North Devon, its environment, its inhabitants and the future we want to shape.

Come along to our first ‘Workhouse at Play’ sessions in early June to see works-in-progress and join the conversation!

More info on our website - in bio! More dates to be added.
