Come From Away – Highcliffe Charity Players

Experience the award-winning musical Come From Away, a remarkable true story brought to life on stage by Highcliffe Charity Players.

Set in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, the show follows the extraordinary compassion shown by its residents when thousands of passengers were unexpectedly grounded there in the aftermath of 9/11. This uplifting, deeply moving musical celebrates humanity at its best — kindness, community and the power of connection in the most challenging of times.

Come From Away is a raw, heartfelt and profoundly inspiring piece of theatre. Join us this August for a production full of depth, emotion and spirit, performed by one of the region’s most beloved local groups.

Access Performances: The 2.30pm performance on Saturday 29 August will include a BSL-interpreted performance, with signing on the left side of the auditorium. Seats directly in front of the interpreter are numbers 16-19 in the stalls.
