1943. Highbury Theatre speaks to the boys and girls of Somerset about friendship, fun and lies.
Peter likes playing Cowboys and Indians. Willie likes woodland creatures. John is best friends with Raymond and they do everything together. Angela likes playing with her babby, Audrey wants to be a nurse when she grows up and Donald likes being on his own, mostly.
None of them tell lies.
