Goodnight Mister Tom
 |
| Goodnight Mister Tom at MK Theatre |
This award-winning production is a
proper family show with real emotional depth. Mister Tom, wonderfully played by
David Troughton, is a widower who lives in a Dorset village, and who is
somewhat of a recluse since his wife has died. Suddenly, at the beginning of
the Second World War, his life is turned a little on its head with the arrival
of William Beech, an evacuee from London who comes to stay with Mister Tom. The
performance really shows how Mister Tom is reawakened in every sense by young
William, and his protective, father-like feelings for William Beech slowly
develop. This old man who has shut himself off from the world slowly comes to
life again.
This cleverly produced production is
packed full with cheerful humour and nostalgia for times gone by. Young William
was tenderly played by Joe Reynolds and touched at the heartstrings. Zach
played by Sonny Kirby provided the laughs. But the most endearing star was Sammy
the border collie ably assisted by the talented Elisa De Grey. You`ll see what
I mean!
This is an excellent play to take the
family to, but be sure to have your tissues at the ready as you`re going to
need them!
