Half Moon presents
a Rosemary Harris poetry theatre production in
association with Apples and Snakes & Nuffield, for 8-12
year olds.
A powerful, poetic
true story of stolen childhood.
Drawing on
real-life stories, One Way Ticket is a gripping show
presented by three poetry performers which is both funny and
moving. Follow Jeannie, Ronnie and other children of the 1950s as
they are sent by ship from children's homes in the UK to?tough new
lives on the other side of the world.
One Way
Ticket offers a dramatic insight into the British Child
Migrants' scandal in the years following World War II, and the
children's continued search to be re-united with families today. A
beautifully written account of belonging, institutionalised brutality
and migration, the show is a thought-provoking and original new work
that resonates with contemporary young audiences.
Not suitable for
under 8s.
One Way
Ticket is written and performed by Rosemary Harris with Justin Coe
and Sophie Rose.
This production is
supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
