Blitz! runs from Wednesday the 28th - Saturday 31 May 2014 at 7:30pm nightly, and a 2:30pm matinee on Saturday.

"Set in Petticoat Lane, London, during the Second World War; two rival market stall holders, the Jewish Mrs Blitztein and Cockney Alfred Locke have a feud with enough power to rival the war! Meanwhile, Carol and Georgie (their children), have fallen in love - just wait until their parent's find out!

The families of the street take daily shelter in Bank Underground station from the German air raids, and prepare to evacuate their young children to the country. Meanwhile the young men of the street are enjoying embarkation leave, before they head out to the front line; assuming that they all report for duty!

Can Carol and Georgie overcome the family feuds, and their own fears, to find each other; and will there ever be peace on Petticoat Lane?"

We shall be supporting ABF: The Soldiers' Charity during our run. They look after soldiers and their families for life.

The charity was formed in 1946 where there was a need to look after their WW2 soldiers.

Unfortunately over the years, this need has not diminished; indeed, with the advances in modern medicine, it is now greater than ever.

While soldiers are in the army, they are well looked after. However, there comes a time maybe 10 or 15 years later, when the past catches up with them and that only did they need our help, but there families may also need our help.

The Soldiers Charity helps soldiers and their families with many of the ordinary things in life, the small things that make an immense difference to them.
