Residents of Manchester are being treated to a poignant First World War play for family audiences at the 53two Theatre this half term on Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 October.
Suitable for the whole family, this moving adaptation of Keith Campion’s debut novel is being seen for the first time in theatres. “After the reaction from schools last year, we knew this was a special piece and deserved to be in theatres,” says the show’s director, Dan Foley. “We feel strongly that the story of the Great War is just as powerful and relevant now as it has ever been. We hope the people of Manchester will agree.
“We are able to show what is happening in Folkestone and Belgium concurrently and really bring the letters to life.” There are 2 performances of this 60 minute play - at 7.30pm on Wednesday 25th and at 2.30pm on Thursday 26. Each performance is followed by a Q&A with the cast. The play is written for a family audience from seven years upwards. There is no upper age limit to who will take something out of the play.
