Product Description

Whether you are looking for a rousing school musical to swell the hearts of your cast and audience, or a comprehensive curriculum resource that educates and entertains, Edith’s Wartime Scrapbook is all you could wish for, and more!

Updated for the 80th anniversary of VE Day, with new cast recordings and a fresh score, this fabulous musical commemorates the bravery, sacrifice and also the sense of humour that defined life in Britain during WW2. With rousing songs that perfectly evoke the era and a witty yet sensitive script/storyline that documents the trials and tribulations experienced by all on the Home Front, Edith’s Wartime Scrapbook can be used as a spectacular musical production and also as a stimulating curriculum resource to entertain and inform.

With an ideal cast size of 64 (including non-speaking parts), the cast size can be easily reduced to 31 or easily increased to 100+. The total number of speaking parts is 44.

The Book and CD Pack includes full script with detailed stage directions, character information, tips for costumes, props and scenery, a CD of vocal demo tracks, backing tracks to all songs, continuity music and sound effects and a piano score with voice line and guitar chords.

Also available is a CD-ROM of Digital Backdrops containing ten images in the sequence they are required throughout the script, supplied in both a PowerPoint presentation and as individual JPG files. No more scenery painting! These images may be projected onto a screen or wall at the back of your stage or hand them to a local printer to print onto large boards or sheets in order to create your stage backdrops. They're also useful to print off for cast and stage crew to familiarise themselves with the sets and scene changes.

A free editable copy of the script in Word format is also available upon request when you purchase (and have paid for) this musical from us. Simply e-mail your request, along with your name and address, and we will arrange for a copy of the script to be sent to you by e-mail. This will allow you to edit the script, if required, and to print as many copies of the script as you require.
