If you like all things wartime and 1940s then Every Night Something Awful should be right up your street.

The Green Room Theatre Company, founded by actress Hal Dyer, will be taking a nostalgic look at entertainment in the forties through music, song, radio and cinema at Fairfield Halls on Tuesday.

"It's a run through of the sort of entertainment you would have experienced then such as radio, film, music and theatre," said Dyer.

"We are talking about the likes of Spike Milligan, Jack Warner and Gracie Fields.

"We are doing bits of everything you would have seen during the war years here.

"I will be doing a bit on Marlene Dietrich and there will be a bit on Laurence Olivier's Henry V.

"He was in the Fleet Air Aim during the war and did a few films promoting it before doing Henry V in 1944."

The name Every Night Something Awful actually comes from the official entertainment group for the British Armed Forces during the war, as Dyer explains.

"The Entertainments National Service Association was the official entertainment group for the army and all the people they featured were looking to be in entertainment and they got tried out with ENSA.

"Some were really good like Milligan whereas others weren't so good so the name eventually got changed into Every Night Something Awful by the public."
