South Pacific

The scene is an island in the South Pacific during WW2 as the United Sates forces attempt to overthrow Japan. US marines, pilots and Navy nurses are stationed on the island to do their bit for the war. Needless to say there is interaction between the visitors and the local polynesian population. This leads to issues of race as well as culture and it should be remembered that attitudes to such things were very different from the views we would take today. In the end, as with all the best stories, love conquers all and prejudice is overcome. There's nothing like a happy ending is there?        

 

Superb performancesfrom Rebecca Gotts, Leon Kreft and Dave Montgomery, ably supported by Dave Watson and Lesley Dawson, a stunning set and a host of memorable songs meant a very pleasant evening for all
