FAIR SHARES FOR ALL!
The year is 1947 and Great Britain is still riding high from its victory in World War 2. Things, however, are not as rosy as they may seem.
The inhabitants of a small northern town are still shaken by the events and losses of the conflict. To make matters worse, rationing guidelines seem to only be getting stricter, with Prime Minister Clement Attlee proclaiming the adage “It’s Fair Shares for All” almost daily over the wireless.
It seems to many residents that these fair shares are fairer for some than for others! Everybody must try to strictly adhere to the guidelines however for fear of repercussions from the Meat Inspector who has recently come to town.
This short musical theatre piece explores the characters of a small northern town as they fight to keep their chins up in adverse conditions.
We'd love it if you'd come to support our students - you can book (pay what you like) via the link in our bio.

Carl has been at NAPA for just over two years now (although we're sure he will agree it feels like he's been with us forever!).
