‘Norman the Conqueror’ by The Fordingbridge Players
Norman Harper is 91 years old. Not that he considers that any reason to start behaving himself.
In 1940, twelve-year-old Norman is growing up in wartime Southampton when evacuation sends him away from home and into a world of bullies, rules and grown-ups who expect to be obeyed. Norman has other ideas.
Moving between 1940 and 2020, Norman the Conqueror is a warm, mischievous and ultimately moving story of friendship, defiance, love and growing old – and of the child inside us who never quite grows up.
