The latest show for Hull Community Theatre and the May Geslins was set in an East Hull Terrace, Brecon Terrace, between the years of 1945-1951.

Based on real life accounts it told the story of how the residents and friends gradually come to terms with the end of the war, the continuing rationing, the birth of the welfare state and the NHS. We follow their traumas and suffering and the small moments of joy they grab whilst visiting one of the new Butlins Holiday camps at Filey.

The show culminates with the Festival of Britain in 1951.

As with all our show the play is accompanied by music of the period with such songs as Dear Hearts & Gentle People, Answer Me, The Coffee Song and Route 66.

The show was performed at Rooted in Hull and to packed out audiences at Alexandra Hall in Hedon and the Central Library in Hull.
