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!"
FORTHCOMING PRODUCTION FOR EdFest 2017 - 'Lord Dismiss Us' based on the novel by Michael Campbell.
School prefect Terry Carleton is madly in love with fourth year junior Nicholas Allen, the chaplain has paintings of naked young men on his wall, while English master Eric Ashley fights his own good fight with his inner demons. it's 1967, and the law is about to change, but only for those over the age of 21. Cue the arrival of a severely homophobic new headmaster and his devoutly religious wife, intent on stamping out moral degeneracy, a crusade which has both hilarious and tragic consequences.
Lord Dismiss Us will be at theSpace@Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, 4 - 26 August 2017 and tickets are now on sale from www.edfringe.com
Casting for Lord Dismiss Us is in June. SEE A BREAKDOWN IN CASTING OPPORTUNITIES
LORD DISMISS US
Published in 1967, out of print for decades but now republished by Valancourt Books, Michael Campbell's Lord Dismiss Us was described by Christopher Isherwood as one of the greatest novels ever written about public school life.
At the 70th Edinburgh Fringe, and to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the book's original publication and the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and Wales, Boys of the Empire Productions are proud to announce the first stage adaptation of this moving, supremely funny and wicked novel.
