The ‘Accrington Pals’ battalion of Kitchener’s New Army was raised and destroyed during WW1. This new take on Peter Whelan’s play occupies a timeless space, as we see the futility of all wars, past and present, unfold and watch how they devastate the lives of those left behind.
This is the heartbreaking love-hate relationship between a strong-minded, rugged individualist woman and a dreamy, Utopian idealist young man, and the village that surrounds them.
Featuring projected artwork from ‘The Danger Tree’ exhibition, the result of collaboration between Marc Marot and Scarlett Raven, impressive paintings meet digital media and wartime poetry to create an augmented reality that brings both beauty and pain to the story unfolding onstage.
