Early in the 1950s a group of children are being brought up in St Joseph's Convent and cared by the Nuns. Funds are low so the County Council have proposed an open day for prospective parent who would like to adopt a child. As the story unfolds you learn more about the children and how they came to be there. But as in most stories there is a twist of fate. A lovely little story about the fate of these children after the Second World War. Please phone 01935 414662 for Box Office.

The Swan Theatre Company is committed to developing the performing arts in Yeovil and performs six shows a year, providing a wide range of opportunities for our members to perform or work backstage. In addition the theatre is a venue which is used by other groups in the area. In addition to the six shows a year, from time to time, we present rehearsed readings and run workshops on technical and stage-related aspects.
