Goodnight Mister Tom adapted by David Wood from the novel by Michelle Magorian. ‘As World War II looms, for their safety, children are evacuated to the countryside. Young William Beech is billeted with elderly recluse Tom Oakley.
Thus begins a remarkable and moving friendship that withstands a summons back to London with devastating consequences.
A must-see play that depicts the harsh realities of war, and how life can change in a moment. Goodnight Mister Tom is a tale of two broken souls at different ends of the age scale, and celebrates the value of love, proving that friendship knows no barriers.’
Argent Theatre spent their fiftieth year in 2025, touring friendship groups and care homes bringing theatre to the community and smashing their 50 at FIFTY challenge. 2026 sees a return to full-scale theatre with Goodnight Mister Tom – the play that won the Olivier Award in 2013 for Best Entertainment and Family Stage Production. Argent Theatre is also award winning, with trophies for Best Actor; Best Actress; Newcomer to the Adult Stage; Belper Cup for Innovation and Front of House.
