Note on Play
The play is set entirely in Smith’s tailor and costumier’s workshop in the East End of London in 1919.
Whilst the script refers to Tommy playing the piano, it is highly possible that he might play another instrument that is fitting for his music-hall genre, e.g. ukulele, accordion, glockenspiel, triangle, etc.
A glossary is provided at the back of the book.
This ebook was created before the end of rehearsals and so may differ slightly from the play as performed.
