In the year which sees the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II SADC is collaborating with historians on an exciting production to explore how the lives of Carshalton residents were affected by the war.

SADC members, Ella McDonnell and David Thompson, have worked with the historical researchers, Margaret Thomas and Bev Walker, to research the lives of Carshalton residents who have left records of their experiences. The historical researchers are working on the World War II project, Fight for Freedom, Carshalton and Wallington's War which is supported by the St Helier Charitable Foundation.

This production has been created by Ella and David based on records which have survived, either in diaries or written recollections, and aims to bring to life what it was like to live in Carshalton in those difficult and dangerous years. It will be a celebration of the grit and determination of the people of the borough who survived despite the bombs and deprivations, but it will also be a tribute to those local residents who were not so lucky and who did not survive, whether at home or abroad.

The production will tell all these stories through monologues, dramatised scenes, radio broadcasts and musical entertainment, to provide the backdrop to the stories of the people whose lives and experiences we will explore. It promises to be a very special production in an important anniversary year.

SADC is a community theatre group which performs in the Sutton, Carshalton, Banstead, Ewell and Epsom areas ,and  is a charitable incorporated organisation UK charity number 1208164
