This play opens a door to thinking about the events of 100 years ago on a most personal level. Engaging characters, timeless poetry and familiar songs pull the audience into the trenches where simple human conflict mirrors the terrible events unseen, but heard beyond the stage. A poignant drama about a pointless method of warfare. See it!
If you plan acts of remembrance to mark the centenery of the outbreak of the First World War this year, this play is the perfect place to start. This needs to be brought into schools. Accessible, poignant and, at its core, engaging with the audience. A fantastic addition to any KS3 history curriculum.
