Kindertransport is a moving insight into the complex relationship between mothers and daughters and looks at the bittersweet experience of every parent as they try to teach their child to survive alone. A stunning story if love and loss, past and present and hope for the future, Kindertransport is at the New Theatre from Tuesday 12 – Saturday 16 November.In the nine months before the outbreak of World War II, nearly 10,000 predominantly Jewish children from Germany, Poland, Austria and Czechoslovakia were rescued on the Kindertransport and ferried to safety in the UK. As the clouds of war gather in 1930’s Germany, a desperate mother forces her nine year old daughter onto a train, sending her out of danger and into the arms of strangers. In peaceful, suburban, 1980’s England, a proud mother prepares to say farewell to her grown-up daughter, as she cuts the ties of childhood to leave the family home. Then a chance discovery opens an unhealed wound and a long-buried secret is revealed. The bittersweet experience of every parent, as they send their children into an uncertain world, unites these women across the decades. In the year that marks the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the first Kindertransport, Paula Wilcox (The Smoking Room, Rock and Chips, Emmerdale) and Janet Dibley (Doctors, EastEnders, the Two of Us) star in this unmissable production of Diane Samuels’ award-winning classic. Winner of the Verity Bargate and Meyer-Whitworth Awards, Kindertransport also stars Gabrielle Dempsey and Emma Deegan. Kindertransport is at the New Theatre from Tuesday 12 – Saturday 16 November.
