Bramhope Village Players

Our last production was:

84 Charing Cross Road
by Helen Hanff

The action of the play is set in the New York apartment of Miss Hanff and in Marks & Co. Booksellers, 84 Charing Cross Road, London. The play is based on “84 Charing Cross Road” by Helene Hanff, and spans the years 1949 to 1971.
Tonight’s play is based on a true story. In 1949 a struggling American script writer starts a correspondence with the chief buyer and staff of an antiquarian bookshop in Charing Cross Road London. The writer, Helene Hanff, whose college education was cut short by lack of funding during the depression, aims to improve her mind by ordering a selection of second hand books, unobtainable in New York, from the bookshop whose advertisement she has seen in the New York Times.
