Hey guys!
A week ago, I went on a trip with my school to see Welcome Home Captain Fox at the Donmar Warehouse, Covent Garden. This is my thoughts and opinions on the performance. Enjoy X
Welcome Home Captain Fox is based on a true story of a soldier coming back from he war having lost his memory. The press put out the story to the public trying to find his family.
As a result of this, hundreds of families contacted to say that it was their husband/father/son etc. Many visited and denied that he was theirs but many still pushed on for reasons like benefits (money).

Eventually they found out the village he was from and put him at the train station as by instinct he walked his way home.
The play was kind of similar but was adapted.
The actors were absolutely incredible and you could tell that they really got into the part of their characters.
The actors were...
- Michelle Asante, Barnaby Kay, Rory Keenan, Katherine Kingsley, Trevor Laird, Sian Thomas, Danny Webb, Fenella Woolgar, Daniel York, Kit Connor, Ilan Galkoff, Rory Stroud.
If you are not aware, the Donmar Warehouse stage is small and very close to the audience, I think this really added to it as the actors were so close that they had unintentional interaction with us.
Overall, I really loved this performance and would 100% see it again. The only thing that I didn't really like was the cigarette smoke, in the performance they smoke and the smoke was coming into the audience and my eyes were watering like crazy!
I really ,recommend if you are in London, to go and see it as its great and really funny :)
Happy Reading (and watching),
