Poppy Day date for Wilfred Owen musical
Wednesday 2nd November 2011, 10:44AM GMT.
A Shropshire show by former Brookside actor Dean Sullivan has been given a plug on national radio by EastEnders star Barbara Windsor.
Sullivan, famous for his role as Jimmy Corkhill in the Channel 4 soap, will be bringing his latest production – a Wilfred Owen musical called Bullets and Daffodils – to Oswestry in November.
Carry On star Windsor decided to play a song from the show during her stint standing in for Elaine Paige on her Radio 2 show.
She played the love theme from the musical entitled I Would Fight For You, written by Dean Johnson, and told the nation the show would be in Shropshire.
Mr Johnson said: “It is fantastic to have that on Radio 2 as it has seven million listeners.”
