The Swish of the Curtain

on BBC One London

by Pamela Brown
Starring The Blue Door Theatre Company
Dramatised in four episodes by Julia Jones
A second chance to see the first-ever television production of a children's classic that has retained its popularity for almost 40 years. Set in an English seaside town in the late 30s, the story tells of a group of eager, stage-struck youngsters who turn a disused old chapel into a theatre, with themselves as resident company.
