The Mayflower Theatre presents Floella Benjamin’s ‘Coming to England’

Written By Caroline Tennent

This award-winning and iconic book comes to life in this joyful stage adaptation. It’s an inspirational story of hope, determination and triumph.

Much loved by children and families, Coming to England tells Floella’s own story of emigrating to England as a child.

Aged just 10, she and her siblings left Trinidad and sailed alone to join their parents. But Floella’s excitement for her new life in England is short-lived, with her family subjected to racism and intolerance in 1960s London.

Guided by her mother, and working twice as hard as her classmates, Coming to England tells the story of how a young Floella overcame adversity and grew to become Baroness Benjamin of Beckenham.

Adapted for the stage by David Wood this vibrant and energetic musical is the perfect entertainment for the whole family.
