Unique WW1 Theatre Production

5 August 2015 By Sue

miscFollowing Tale Valley Community Theatre’s recent and very successful ‘Here we are again – an evening of songs and poems from WW1’, the company will take a short summer break before resuming rehearsals for ‘They Dream of Home’.

This unique performance will be staged at a number of sites around Payhembury village on September 19th and  20th. An original play written and directed by John Somers, it captures the excitement amongst the young men of  the parish at war’s declaration and the progression through recruitment, intense battles and the awful consequences of warfare.

Two of the characters are based on real men whose relatives have given permission to include them in the story. The nephew of one still lives at the edge of the village green, close to the memorial which bears his uncle’s name. Musical Director Andy Hague has brought together a 14-member silver band which will form an integral part of the  performance.

Tickets are available from Payhembury Shop & Paula Nelson at paulafnelson@aol.com and 01404 841232

For more information contact John Somers at J.W.Somers@exeter.ac.uk or 01884 277390
