Good afternoon,
 
We'd like to invite you to join hundreds of school children at one of the four special performances of A Child's War by Lotte Moore in honour of Remembrance Day. Schools are invited to purchase tickets for whole classes or year groups to attend to bring the experience of being a child evacuee in WW2 to life for children at this hugely important time of year.

Lotte Moore defies all stereotypes of what it means to be an 80-something year old. She started her author career at the age of 70 and has published (both self-published and traditionally published) 25+ children's and adult books including the best-selling title Lotte's War, on which this play is based. She organises these live performances for schools annually around Remembrance Day, and freely gives her time to read and talk to the children in schools up and down the country. She doesn't believe that age should stop her from doing what she loves - reading to and writing for children - and as one of the last generations to have experienced WW2 first-hand feels it's her duty to share her stories with young people of today.
 
There's a press release below with more information, but if you'd like to send a reporter, reviewer or photographer down to Chiswick on  Monday 4^th and Tuesday 5^th November and Tuesday 12^th and Wednesday 13^th November, or interview the incredible Lotte Moore in advance, please get in touch: info@literallypr.com. Details of how schools can order tickets (just £6 each) are included below also.

Thanks,

School children invited to step back in time to WW2 - Remembrance Day - November 2019

Stage adaptation of children's book - Lotte's War - written especially for school children

London, United Kingdom, September 2019: A Child's War by Lotte Moore is due to return to West London, as a live performance, for the third year running, to help bring to life the realities of being a young evacuee in World War Two. Created specifically to support teachers and parents wishing to educate, inform and inspire children around the time of Remembrance Day, A Child's War, attracted significant media attention last year for its powerful ability to capture the spirit of the War through the eyes of a young girl (https://www.londonlive.co.uk/news/2018-03-20/a-child-s-war).

Tickets are available for just £6 each and schools are encouraged to secure their tickets before they sell out, as it is an original, entertaining and informative way to engage Key Stage Two children learning about World War Two (years four to six in primary school).

Inspired by the best-selling children's bookLotte's War(Urbane Publications, November 2016), the emotive story has been adapted for the stage by Nick Bromley and continues to be aimed at children (seven to 11-year olds) and, of course, teachers, teaching assistants and parents are very welcome! The show helps young people today to understand the true-life story of octogenarian writer, Lotte Moore, and the thousands of other evacuees who were sent away from their homes, schools, friends and family during the War.

Schools are invited to be part of the performances at London Corinthian, Linden House, 60 Upper Mall, Hammersmith, W6 9TA on  Monday 4^thand Tuesday 5^thNovember and Tuesday 12^thand Wednesday 13^thNovember by pre-booking tickets for a whole class or year group at a time (the hall will fit up to 60 children). There are two showings per day: 11am and 2pm. At just 45 minutes long, it is perfect for younger children.
