Back to Front

Set against the backdrop of World War II, Back to Front follows the adventures of several families and individuals whose lives are turned upside-down by a series of amusing and terrifying events.

This musical play was first staged at The Gardner Arts Centre in Brighton in the summer of 2002 with a huge cast of over 250. With plenty of ensemble numbers and no fewer than 30 individual speaking parts, it offers enormous potential for schools and dramatic companies with plenty of actors at their disposal. However, many of the parts could be “doubled”, so companies wanting to stage the piece with a smaller cast size will be able to do so quite easily.

Minimum cast size:
