Keep Calm and Sing Along


Actor Barrie Ingham wrote and is performing a one man show featuring the words and music that cheered and encouraged the British  people during the darkest days of World War Two. The show is structured like a radio broadcast; hence the radio tower in place of the cross on the crown at the top.

This is the first concept of a poster for the show which will be performed by Mr. Ingham this summer in New England. It'll need a bit of  tweaking. Winston Churchill will be replacing the chap on the right. Several people asked me about the object that has the word "starring: on it. It's a barrage balloon; a common sight in England during the war. The wing-shearing cables attached to the balloons served to thwart low-level attacks from German airplanes.

I'll probably add another balloon in the distance and color the whole thing for clarity.
