(From the full 4-hour show) Terry and Jack (aged 7 and 11) say goodbye to Mum and Dad.
Along with the rest of the of their school, they set off by train. Nobody knows where they are going or who’ll they be staying with, but they end up in a tiny village in Cornwall.

Kisses on a Postcard, this intensely moving musical by Terence Frisby, tells the story of two boys in WWII. In 1940, Terry and Jack, aged seven and eleven, to escape German bombing, are evacuated from their family in south-east London to a tiny village in Cornwall, where they spend the next four years.
Full of surprising humour and memorable songs, this is unique portrait of an extraordinary time in British history.
“Enchanting, profoundly moving and delightful,” Charles Spencer, the Telegraph.

I found out about this from listening to the episode of the Tom Woods Show that Dom was a guest on.
Such a brilliant musical. Have now listened to it twice. I want everyone to know about it. A good story and so well performed. Have bought the book and am enjoying that too.
