Written by Andrew Bowker and John Gleadall several years ago, and first performed 10 years back, One Pride…One People tells the story of life in the Portsea area of Portsmouth between the end of the First World War and 1926.
Very well staged and directed, this is a very moving story and the cast perform admirably with some very good ensemble work and some excellent solo singing performances.
The large cast of around 60 performers use the stage at the Spring Arts & Heritage Centre very well, with a backdrop of Portsmouth’s Guildhall.
This is a musical drama which is well worth seeing, and I defy anyone to come out with dry eyes.
On at the Spring until Saturday, there will also be one performance at the King’s Theatre on Wednesday, April 10th at 7.30.
