Roundabout Thornaby

<<Back

This play was commissioned by Stockton Borough Council, to be performed at Bader Primary School, to commemorate the part played by Thornaby Aerodrome in World War II and to coincide with the erection of a sculpture (a replica Spitfire) with which Stockton Borough Council wished to mark Thornaby's role in World War II.

I have broadened the scope somewhat to illustrate events in Thornaby�s history, but a large part of the play deals with wartime events. All of the stories and characters are based on historical research. Although primarily of interest to schools in the Stockton area of North East England, the play deals with many important events in England's history: - the Roman occupation, The Crusades, the industrialisation of England and World War II.
