Welcome to the rock! 7,000 stranded passengers. One small town. A remarkable true story.
Winner of four Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, Come From Away shares the incredible real-life story of the 7,000 air passengers from all over the world who were grounded in Canada during the wake of 9/11, and the small Newfoundland community that invited these ‘come from aways’ into their lives with open hearts.
Experience this joyous story and soaring music performed by Glow Theatre Group as spirited locals and global passengers come together to forge friendships that will stay with them forever. The first female American Airlines captain, the quick-thinking town mayor, the mother of a New York firefighter and the eager local news reporter are among the many real characters caught at the start of the moment that changed the course of history and whose stories became a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.
Tickets for the performances which are from 10th – 12th July at 7.30pm (and on Saturday at 2.30pm) and costing just £16.50 are available from www.barntheatreoxted.co.uk
