Dear Hearts and Gentle People comes to Alexandra Hall in Hedon.
Hull Community Theatre and the May Geslins bring their new show called Dear Hearts and Gentle People to Alexandra Hall in Hedon on Saturday 19th September.
Dear Hearts and Gentle People is set in a fictional terrace in East Hull from 1945 to 1951 and tells the story of a set of neighbours and friends as they cope with life after World War 2. They have to come to terms with returning soldiers who are changed by conflict, the effects of rationing and the birth of the NHS and Welfare State as Hull recovers and re-builds after the war.
Based on real life accounts and archival records from Hull and Holderness, the story is told with pathos and humour and includes songs from the period which are woven in to set the scene.
The show starts at 2pm prompt and entry is free and un-ticketed.
