A play telling the story of the forgotten children of World War Two will be shown in Barnoldswick.

Part of Spot On Rural Touring’s spring programme, Leave Hitler to Me Lad will be performed at the Rainhall Centre next Friday, March 7, at 7pm.

The play, presented by Duck Egg Theatre, follows Brian’s lonely life in a residential school, which is his only home as all of his friends are reunited with their families after the war and he is left behind.

Events come to a climax on sports day when a shocking secret is revealed.

The play, which includes child actors, does not shy away from presenting younger audiences with difficult themes.

Tickets cost £6 for adults and £4 for concessions. Call 01282 818250.
