But when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington murdered in mysterious circumstances, Christopher turns detective. His investigation takes him on a very surprising and challenging journey.

AND A NIGHTINGALE SANG by arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, a Concorde Theatricals Company.

written by C.P. Taylor
directed by Llaaneath Poor

Performed at Heidelberg Theatre from
6 – 21 September 2024

This play tells of the loves, fears and joys of a Newcastle family during World War Two.

Helen is stoical, self-effacing and walks with a limp; her grandfather Andie recruits mourners to attend the burial of his dog; her devout Catholic mother frets about the local priest’s health; her father serenades an unwilling audience with popular songs; and younger sister Joyce dithers over a marriage proposal.
They all try their best to get on with their lives while the bombs fall around them.
