TOM, DICK & HARRY announces dates at Alexandra Palace Theatre

Using top-secret information from the war archives, classified until 1972, Tom Dick & Harry has announced dates at the Alexandra Palace Theatre, London from 26 July-28 August.

The new play debunks the myths, honours the people involved, and tells the true story of the most daring escape attempt in World War II history.

Directed by Theresa Heskins, Tom, Dick & Harry is filled with dynamic drama, humour and breathtaking theatricality, telling an extraordinary true story of the escape from Stalag Luft III, of solidarity across nations, and of an unbreakable spirit to achieve the impossible.

1943. A prisoner of war camp in Nazi-occupied Europe. Above ground, is a prison impossible to escape. But below ground, the prisoners spy an opportunity. For these are not ordinary prisoners.

Serial escapees, the prisoners held in Stalag Luft III begin an exhilarating game of cat and mouse with their captors. Hiding their covert activity in plain sight with gymnastic exercise, choir practice, and cabbage growing (!), the men tunnel deep into the ground beneath the camp’s huts, and soon the most intricate, most audacious, greatest escape of them all is underway…
