Southampton’s new theatre, NST City, will open next year with the world premiere of Howard Brenton’s The Shadow Factory (February 7-March 3, 2018). Set in 1940, the play tells how Southampton’s spitfire factory was destroyed in raids by the Luftwaffe. Samuel Hodges, Nuffield Southampton Theatres director, said: “This story is both epic in its power and impact – it’s about individuals coming together, overcoming personal bias and mistrust.” The company will also mount The Shadow Factory Exhibition, giving audiences the opportunity to explore the stories behind The Shadow Factory. nstheatres.co.uk
