Based on a true-life love story from World War II, this new musical by Philip Glassborow takes us back to the wild days of Valletta’s most famous street. The beautiful singer Christina Ratcliffe arrives at The Morning Star in “The Gut” to entertain the troops. Then she meets the dashing RAF air-ace, Flying Officer Adrian Warburton. And the rest is history! Staying on in Malta throughout the war, Christina works in the Lascaris War Rooms. She’s awarded the British Empire Medal for her services to the RAF, and becomes known as ‘Christina of George Cross Island’. The play stars Polly March, Larissa Bonaci and Geoff Thomas, and features wartime standards like “I’ll Be Seeing You” alongside original songs such as “Welcome to Valletta”. It’s a feast for theatre and music lovers, enthusiasts of Maltese history, and anyone looking for a good show!

This performance takes place at Applecart Arts, 170 Harold Road, Upton Park, London E13 0SE
