For this production 8 new members have been added to the original cast of 21 and the original songs by Coward will be conducted by Jill and Steve Hepple.

Ending the season from October 17^th – 21^st the Players will be performing wartime classic “Goodnight Mister Tom,” the story of a WW2 evacuee boy and the friendship he forms with the old man who takes him in. The novel has been adapted for the stage by David Wood and was also adapted into a popular TV series in 1998.
