The Good Scout is inspired by true events. In the 1930s, by invitation of Lord Baden-Powell, parties of Hitler Youth descended on England to join British boy scouts on cycling and camping holidays. There was hope that they would learn from one another. MI5 worried that the German boys might not only be cyclists but "spyclists".
In the small town of Bassington, rover scouts Will and Jacob play host to Hitlerjugend from the Black Forest. Their lives are destined never to be the same again.
This new drama from Boys of the Empire Productions will shock and surprise as it takes audiences in to a very secret corner of British pre-war history.

THE CUSTARD BOYS
Voted
BEST NEW THEATRE PRODUCTION 2012
SoSoGayMagazine Awards
"Your gong for the Best New Theatre Production was a closely fought race, but Seussical just missed out on the top spot to the world premier of The Custard Boys, seen at The Tabard Theatre earlier this year. The story of five London schoolboys being evacuated to a Norfolk seaside village, far away from Hitler's bombs, had audiences up on their feet during curtain calls, and was praised for its beautiful portrayal of homosexuality in an era where attitudes were stifling. More of this type of theatre in 2013 please Theatre Gods!"
