STRIKING EAST END MUSICAL ARRIVING ON THE ESHER STAGE

This January a poignant new Musical, ‘The Truth Stops Here’ premieres at Esher Theatre. Everybody loves a good story, especially one that’s true! With its captivating plot and unforgettable songs, this is a show not to be missed.

Written and produced by Surrey composer, Anthony Merryweather, ‘The Truth Stops Here’ follows one woman’s quest to expose the truth about a civilian disaster at Bethnal Green Underground Station during World War 2. The musical runs from 6-8 January 2022 at the recently opened Esher Theatre. Tickets can be purchased at www.eshertheatre.com/thetruthstopshere

The creative team behind the Musical also includes Surrey writers Nick Paterson and Emma Woodhouse. The show was piloted earlier this summer and follows the colourful lives of those living through the Blitz in London’s East End. Nick Paterson said, “For our professional cast, it’s an opportunity to develop new characters and bring both wartime tragedy and humour to the stage in a unique way”.

Composer Anthony says of the Musical, “very few people know about this true story and for the relatives of victims it was almost a double tragedy – losing their loved ones and then having the truth covered up for so long. But we believe this musical offers a fitting memory to them”.

A striking memorial to the victims stands proudly outside Bethnal Green Underground station. ‘The Truth Stops Here’ production team is raising funds to support the future upkeep and maintenance of the Memorial and gardens.

Director Sophie Flack describes why she was drawn to this new musical. “The spirit of East End people comes across with real energy in this story. There is laughter and tears, despair and celebration, and above all impossible-to-forget songs”
