SCHOOLS

Carrie’s War is on the national curriculum’s recommended reading list for English Key Stages 2 & 3 and also compliments the study of World War II (Key Stage 2). Due to its popularity amongst school groups, we recommend booking early!

Carrie’s War is suitable for ages 7+.
The running time is approx 2 hours & 15 minutes including a 20 minute interval.

“Carrie’s War is one of my all-time favourite children’s books. I’m sure this wonderfully imaginative and dramatic stage version will delight an entire new generation of children.” Dame Jacqueline Wilson

“I really enjoyed Carrie’s War and I thought all the actors and actresses were really good and especially James Beddard. The setting was really good. It was my first ever theatre show and was amazing!” Chloe Evetts, Age 10
