Intensive rehearsals will begin in August 2018 culminating in performances from Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th August taking place in the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre Main Auditorium .
Whistle Down The Wind by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jim Steinman is based on the book of the same title by Mary Hayley Bell , and was later produced as a movie in the hands of Richard Attenborough .
The musical is set in a small , deeply religious town in Louisiana during the 1950s . A poor farming family led by father , Boone , and his three children , Swallow , Brat , and Poor Baby , have recently buried their mother and they are still struggling with the grief . As Christmas approaches and the family cannot afford any presents or luxuries , the three children are desperate to find something to hold on to and believe in . One day , they find a stranger injured and hiding in their run-down barn .
