Local tales and Ordinary People take centre stage

ORDINARY PEOPLE, a new musical about Farnham by multi award-winning composer and lyricist Darren Clark (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Wicker Husband) - comes to Farnham Maltings on May 31 and June 1, promising to show there is nothing ordinary about ordinary people!

- 

Based on stories shared by local people that Darren has collected over the past two years, the production - produced by Farnham Maltings - features a cast of professional actor musicians and community performers who, together, capture the essence of life in Farnham through music and storytelling.

Local legends, memorable moments and funny stories all play a part, along with personal recollections and the impact of world history on the town.

From rag'n'bone man Charlie Wenham - whose horse needed no guidance to get him home after jolly nights in the pub - and the young men from Badshot Lea Amateur Brass Band who signed up for the Great War; to Susie, the shy, green fingered gardener who somehow found herself at the head of a community vegetable growing project, and the inspiring story of Harry and his mum whose lives were changed by Harry's muscular dystrophy.
