The acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre production Goodnight Mr Tom comes to the West End for a 9 week season from 22 November – 26 January before embarking on a 9 week UK Tour with Oliver Ford Davies reprising his role as Mister Tom. This marks the first new production in the Phoenix Theatre for over 20 years after Blood Brothers recently announced it's closure.
The tour will begin on 28 January 2013 at Manchester Opera House. The production will then tour to Sunderland Empire, Milton Keynes Theatre, Brighton Theatre Royal, York Grand Opera House, Woking New Victoria Theatre, Southend Palace Theatre, Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, Glasgow King’s Theatre and Birmingham Alexandra. You can find all the tour information at the end of this article.
Set during the dark and dangerous build up to the Second World War, Goodnight Mister Tom follows sad William Beech, who is evacuated to the idyllic English countryside and builds a remarkable and moving friendship with the elderly recluse Tom Oakley. All seems perfect until William is devastatingly summoned by his mother back to London.
