SOUTH PACIFIC Sails Into The Dormston Theatre this Month

Pulitzer Prize-winning musical South Pacific will be performed by reputable amateur group West Bromwich Operatic Society this month.

WBOS regulars John Wetherall and Laura Stanford take the leading roles together for the first time since the extremely successful Ghost The Musical, to tell another beautiful love story. With a strong ensemble of sailors, seabea's and marines, WBOS will bring this story to life from 27th - 30th September at the Dormston Mill Theatre.

Set in an island paradise during World War II, two parallel love stories are threatened by the dangers of prejudice and war. Nellie, a spunky nurse from Arkansas, falls in love with a mature French planter, Emile. Nellie learns that the mother of his children was an island native and, unable to turn her back on the prejudices with which she was raised, refuses Emile's proposal of marriage. Meanwhile, the strapping Lt. Joe Cable denies himself the fulfilment of a future with an innocent Tonkinese girl with whom he's fallen in love out of the same fears that haunt Nellie. When Emile is recruited to accompany Joe on a dangerous mission, Nellie realizes that life is too short not to seize her own chance for happiness, thus confronting and conquering her prejudices.
