Publication date: 04 October 2018

World War Two has been declared, and the Chivers children are sent to the safety of the countryside. They are delighted to be brought back home when it looks like the Germans aren't going to invade after all. But the air-raid siren goes off, and this time it's frighteningly real.

This dramatic and touching play brings Manchester during the Second World War and its people to life, providing a variety of opportunities for school classes to explore both historical and literacy topics in an involving and creative setting. Also includes helpful tips on staging and costume.

This touching play brings to life the Second World War in a very accessible way for junior children.
