A London theatre is helping to shine the limelight on the famous story of Farm Hall in Godmanchester during World War II with its latest production.

The production, called Farm Hall, covers the world-famous 'bugging' of the building and the conversations of the German Nuclear Scientists incarcerated there from mid-1945-46, which were secretly recorded and transcribed.

The information uncovered helped the allies ascertain how close the Nazi regime had gotten to building a nuclear bomb, and it was at Farm Hall that they learned of Hiroshima.

Directed by Stephen Unwin, the play is a six-person play and is being held at the Jermyn Street Theatre in London from March 9 to April 8, with many of the dates already sold out.

The play is also the debut of writer Katherine Moar and will run on additional dates at the Theatre Royal Bath from April 12-15.

Local author Roger Leivers, who wrote the book Godmanchester at War, which covers the story of Farm Hall, is set to have copies of his book sold during the run of production.

Roger said: "I've got the excitement of being associated, which is great.

"The tickets seem to be rocketing through, and it just really gives a chance to put Godmanchester and Huntingdonshire on the map a bit. It's a major piece of history."

Roger was made aware of the production by Farm Hall owner Marcial Echenique and then contacted the theatre with the idea of spreading the story further through the industry and supporting the theatre itself.

The theatre agreed to sell 72 of Roger's books 'Godmanchester at War' during the run, with a sizeable donation from each sale going to support the theatre, which is a charity.

Roger uses the sales of his books to generate money to support local, national and international causes and has generated more than £33,000 for the Godmanchester Stirling Fund from sales over the past few years.

Roger's book can be purchased directly from Niche Comics in Huntingdon, Clifford Chemist in Godmanchester or by contacting Roger at rogerleivers@yahoo.co.uk.
