THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN by Catherine O’Reilly & Tim Churchill

A Dramatic Discovery! A Dangerous Escape! A Daring Adventure!

 

 

Step into 1994, where a group of spirited D-Day veterans, confined within the walls of a Brighton nursing home, hatch a plan as bold as their wartime exploits. They’re determined to break free and return to Normandy’s hallowed shores to mark the 50th anniversary of D-Day.

Our valiant cast – Bill, Betty, Flo, Reg, Brian, Sid, and Ron – invite you on an unforgettable adventure of honour, loss, love, laughs, official secrets, balaclavas, biscuits and Ninja Turtles to find out just what makes these seven so very magnificent!

This isn’t just any play; it’s an homage to resilience and the enduring human spirit. “The Magnificent Seven” melds the gravity of history with the levity of life’s small joys.

You’re never too old to be a superhero – Cowabunga dudes!
