Floella Benjamin’s
COMING TO ENGLAND
Adapted by David Wood
An inspirational story of hope, determination and triumph
Floella Benjamin’s award-winning and iconic book Coming to England comes to life in this joyful stage adaptation with music, storytelling and song.
Much loved by children and families, Coming to England tells Floella’s own story of moving to England as a child.
Aged just 10, she and her siblings left Trinidad and sailed alone to join their parents. But Floella’s excitement for her new life in England is short-lived, with her family subjected to racism and intolerance in 1960s’ London.
Guided by her mother, and working twice as hard as her classmates, Coming to England tells the story of how a young Floella overcame adversity and grew to become Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.
Adapted for the stage by David Wood (“the national children’s dramatist” – The Times) this vibrant and energetic show is the perfect entertainment for the whole family.
Cast and performance schedule subject to change without notice.
