A LONDON theatre producer has revealed the process behind a play as a film screening and exhibition comes to Harwich.
‘From Here On’, by the Ipswich-based Gecko Theatre and the Good Chance Theatre of London, wowed audiences on Harwich Yachting Beach last August and September.
The play was performed in Harwich because it was the main entry point for children and young people fleeing Nazi persecution across Europe, with the first ferry of refugees arriving on December 1, 1938.
The play will know be shown at the Electric Palace Cinema on March 19 from 6pm to 7.30pm, and there will be a talk with the creative team and young cast.
Good Chance theatre producer Sophie Ignatieff, 37 said it was a “total joy” working with 30 children from Harwich, Colchester and Tendring.
