Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011
Leave Hitler to Me, Lad

Duck Egg Theatre will once again be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! This years oringinal play will be "Leave Hitler to Me, Lad".

Brian's Dad is a war hero and he's coming home any day now.  He's been coming home for 7 years.

It's 1952 and the country is rebuilding itself.  King George is dead and Rock 'n' Roll is here to stay. The children at Great Stony Residential School listen to Little Richard on their transistor radios at bedtime.  Brian has lived here since he was two weeks old and he is miserable.   He tries to remember a time before Great Stony and can't take another 'cattle market' - where adults come and take his friends 'home' but nobody wants him.  Brian builds his own little family at the school with his rabbits Andy and Pandy, friends Gladys, an orphan, George, who doesn't know where his parents are either and Mr Bill his Welfare Officer.  Then there is Miss Bate's, the Headmistress of Great Stony who rules the school with an iron fist. The children look forward to Sports Day - a day off Bates' rules and sanctions.

However, heads turn when glamorous teenager Pam appears to unravel the past and reveal a shocking secret that will turn Brian's world upside down, forever.  Based on a true story, "Leave Hitler To Me Lad" tells the untold story of a lost generation of children in the aftermath of World War 2.
