The Hiding Place
Seen by over 20,000 people across the country, this production is back on the road!
The Hiding Place is the story of Corrie Ten Boom, a Christian woman who lived in Haarlem, Holland during World War II, and her family. Corrie saw the horrific threat the Nazis posed to the Jewish people and decided that she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. With the help of an Underground regime, her family’s faith and a man called Fred, Corrie was able to create a safe place for Jewish people to hide in her family’s home. But what could the Ten Booms do when they were arrested?
“The Hiding Place was brilliant, a very moving and heartfelt performance.”
Audience Member
The Hiding Place will have you in hysterics one minute and in tears the next as the cast of Oddments Theatre Company take you through the victories and defeats of Corrie’s mission. This is a story of faith in the darkest of places and hope where darkness and fear enslaved and destroyed thousands of lives. Book The Hiding Place for your church or event today for a challenging tale of love, despair and God’s grace.
“What a powerful performance showing how God’s love can overcome hatred and evil – it’s an inspiration to us all”

* Advertising pack includes a pull-up banner, A3 posters, up to 200 flyers and advertising on the Oddments website. More advertising can be purchased at an additional fee.
We also ask for a contribution towards fuel costs. We split this over tours with multiple venues and it usually works out at £25 – £40 per venue.
Booking Option 1

- We ask for a contribution towards fuel.
- Ticket prices are set nationally at £13.50 in advance, £15.00 on the day, unless the church chooses to subsidise the tickets at their own expense. *This value is assuming tickets are not subsidised.

- You pay £950 booking fee which allows you to provide free entrance or charge any price for tickets without having to subsidise.
- You take any ticket sales you make.
- We ask for a contribution towards fuel.
- This is a great opportunity for an outreach event!
smaller church events
We can offer an hour-long version of the Hiding Place, with reduced stage set and without stage lighting effects. This is a great option for smaller churches, church services or shorter outreach events.
Prices include 80 miles fuel (round trip from Yeovil). Additional fuel charged at 45p/mile.
Advertising leaflet available, alongside electronic adverts. Additional advertising materials and online ticket system supplied with option B.
PRICING:
£490
You can reclaim your booking fee through ticket sales and any additional revenue will go to Oddments. Ticket price set at £12.
Please note that the simplified version is only available as part of a tour or within a 70 mile radius of Yeovil, Somerset. Please enquire for more information about where we are touring.
schools
For schools, we can offer an hour long version of the show, with full costume and sound. The show is extremely educational for young people, telling the true story of someone who experienced Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. Useful for both History and Religious Education, we’d encourage teachers to discuss the show further in lessons.
We may only be able to offer this show for regional events and events that form part of a tour. Please enquire for more information.
PRICING:
One Show: £450
Two Shows: £495
(Shows must be in the same space, on the same day)
prisons
We offer shortened adaptations of the play for prisons, bringing in a reduced amount of equipment. We are used to working in prisons across the UK and will always provide a full equipment list in advance. The show is a very powerful story of hope and faith during dark times and can be used in a chaplaincy service or as a one-off event.
Please enquire for more information. We may need to work your prison into a regional tour in order to cover our costs.
PRICING:
Our shows are free for prisons thanks to the generousity of our supporters.
If the prison is able to make a contribution towards fuel costs, this is greatly appreciated but by no means expected.
PLEASE NOTE: Performance cast may vary from photographs
