As the First World War unfolds, three friends in rural Sussex feel very different calls to duty; changing their lives forever.
John and his mum Mags run their farm with Joe and Harry’s help: these three men are the closest of friends, more like brothers. At the declaration of War, all their lives change: challenging their values and the bond between them.
What is duty? Is it a call to King and Country or to humanity: can it be both?
This ★★★★★ Brighton company are back with this new play by award winning playwright Susanne Crosby.
This is a Sussex story; through John, Joe, Harry and Mags we experience the immediacy of what it was like at the time, the difficulties they faced, the joys in friendship, and the impact of the War both at the Front and those at home.
The facts surrounding this play are real: it draws on several years of historical research in archives from national and international sources, plus oral histories from the families of people who lived through those times.
