Hannah - The Soldier Diaries, a brand new, original musical with a big bunch of eclectic original songs, a powerful love story and a huge heart, will be premiering at the Scarborough Spa Theatre in April between 9th to 14th April 2024. To complement this once-in-a-lifetime theatrical event in Scarborough, there will be a brand-new art exhibition at Gallery 6 at 6 Victoria Road Scarborough from 1st to 22nd March inclusive.

Gallery opening days are Wednesday to Saturday 11am to 3pm.

There will be an opening night preview on Friday 1st March 2024 between 7pm and 9pm. Entry is free and refreshments will be provided.

Steve Wallis, who wrote Hannah said: “We are delighted to be joining forces with Gallery 6 and gallery curator Leslie Stones.

“This free exhibition will include 13 specially commissioned pieces of artwork which will be available to purchase directly from the gallery.”

Leslie said: “Steve’s enthusiasm for this special production and for Scarborough in general is very inspiring, and when he approached me about this exhibition, it was clear that the artwork combines so well with the stage musical and will only help stimulate interest in the brand-new stage production in April.”

Each of the 13 pieces of artwork represent each of the songs in the show and have been specially designed by Steve along with Niav Toolan from Digital Zest in Scarborough. The artwork can be signed by the cast and crew if requested.

The production features a foreword narrated by actor and presenter Ross Kemp, along with the D-Day Darlings, the best-selling female group to emerge from Britain’s Got Talent.

The musical is set in a number of Scarborough’s timeless locations and features a mix of national and local talent both on and offstage.

Steve said: “Scarborough’s inspirational locations, its local talent and the broad emotional range of the story combine to make this inspirational production a memorable work of love for all those involved.

“We hope some of the passion and atmosphere of Hannah is captured in the artworks.

The artworks will also be on display at the Spa Theatre during the show to help promote the production.”
