Goodnight Mister Tom 
by David Wood, adapted from the book
​by award-winning author, Michelle Magorian
Carriageworks Theatre, Millennium Square, Leeds LS2 3AD
​Michelle Magician's uplifting novel is enchantingly brought to life by Leeds Children's Theatre in this deeply moving stage adaptation by David Wood.  Set during World War II, Goodnight Mr Tom tells the story of William Beech, a young boy evacuated from London to the unfamiliar English countryside. Here, William meets an elderly recluse Tom Oakley, who has withdrawn from society after the tragic death of his wife and child. The pair form an unlikely friendship which helps rebuild their lives. Just as everything seems perfect, William is cruelly summoned back to war-torn London by his deeply religious mother with shocking ramifications.

​A big thank you to members & friends who helped at Kirkstall Festival. As well as being there to promote the society and get our name "out there" we managed to shift hundreds of flyers promoting Goodnight Mister Tom, and the fundraising raised £112 - with lots of face painting and our secondhand book stall.  The weather was kind to us, and we even got chatting to a couple of people who had been members back in the 1960s and the 1980s which was great. 
​Thank you.

Parents, please ask us about how you might help the society. Behind the scenes there's lots of 'stuff' that needs to be done ...
"The aim of Leeds Children's Theatre is to produce plays suitable for children, the players to be either children or adults or both, as is necessary for the production".   
​This was drawn into the constitution in April 1937 and it remains the aim of Leeds Children's Theatre today.
