Note: It's November 1917 and the Third Battle of Ypres is lurching towards its bloody conclusion. Young soldiers Will, Robbie and Jumbo are thrust into a landscape starkly different to the playing fields and estates of their Sunderland home. When the trio's singing causes a disturbance up the line, they face unwelcome attention from their commanding officers. Is music their ticket away from the front, as Robbie dreams, or will the passion it brings about prove more dangerous than bullets and gas? General adult

Note: Night watches, Allan Monkhouse; Mine eyes have seen, Alice Dunbar-Nelson; Tunnel trench, Hubert Griffith; Post-mortem, Noel Coward; Oh what a lovely way, Theatre Workshop; The Accrington pals, Peter Whelan; Sea and land and sky, Abigail Docherty The First World War (1914-1918) marked a turning point in modern history and culture and its literary legacy is vast: poetry, fiction and memoirs abound. But the drama of the period is rarely recognized, with only a handful of plays commonly associated with the war. This title draws together canonical and lesser-known plays from the First World War to the end of the twentieth century, tracing the ways in which dramatists have engaged with and resisted World War I in their works.

Note: 'An August Bank Holiday Lark' explores the impact of the First World War on a rural community in East Lancashire. Set in the idyllic summer of 1914, everyone in the community is excited about Wakes Week; a rest from field and mill and a celebration of the Rushbearing Festival with singing, courting, drinking and dancing. The looming war barely registers ... but it will. Through the lens of traditional rural life, the play follows the stories of the people of the village and witnesses their personal transitions from exuberance to touching naivety as they manage their loss with courage and humanity.
