Blending theatre, music and film, Royal Shakespeare Company actor Nichols Collett tells the intimate and very human story of 80-year-old Peter, who is now in a residential home.

It is a compelling look at one of the pivotal moments of the war, and the history, triumphs and tragedies of a truly memorable character.

There are skilful quick changes between characters in Peter’s past and present life, as he relives family memories; the blue skies of peacetime and the current challenges of being in a residential care home.

The show will be at Caistor Town Hall on Sunday, April 28.

Advance tickets £9 (£10 on the door), under 16s £6, from Caistor Post Office or 01472 851075.
