Coram Boy

T01003189710
A tale of two cities: Gloucester and London. A tale of two orphans at the Coram Hospital for Deserted Children: Toby, saved from an African slave ship and Aaron, the abandoned son of the heir to a great estate. A tale of fathers and sons, set in the dark heart of 18th-century England. An epic adventure filled with danger and excitement.

Reviews

User Review: 22Dec11: What a fabulous, large-scale production. just occasionally I would have prefered it to be smaller but that's probably just me ... excellent show!

User Review: 22Dec11: Great show but I was cursed with sitting amongst some real idiots who insisted on chatting throughout despite requests to stop - not the shows fault but almost spoiled the evening. Show=5star, Audience=1star
