Hitler Killed My Canary.
Is a dark musical comedy about fathers, tea and war and is an extraordinary mix of the humour of 1940’s Britain and the tragedy of the world’s most bitter conflict.
The play revolves around the mistaken and pointless killing of a German girl on the last day of WW2.
The British soldier responsible imagines himself back home in a bombed out British city where his father’s obsession with Music Hall turns every tragedy into dark farce. In this nightmare world the dead German comes to life and weaves in and out of the story, gradually taking the place of the soldier’s fiancée, who has run off with a GI.
‘An effortless blend of absurdist comedy and legendary comedy routines’ – The Guardian
