accrington pals

by kevinwilson @ 2008-07-17 - 14:01:06

have you read it or seen it performed?

the play is by peter whelan, and is about the eager departure of accrington men to sign up, their massacre at the somme, and about the problems and pressures faced by the women they left behind.

it's had mixed reviews so i'd be interested to hear from you if you have an opinion.

I haven't heard of that, but I almost bought a house in Accrington 20 years ago. We ended up in Blackburn instead.

The subject is so depressing...makes me grieve every time I hear anything about the first World War...criminal damned waste of life...and sorry, Kev, never heard of this play so have no opinion on it...were you thinking of doing it for your next one? GBHs...XX

nope, but I'll ask my theatrical colleagues if you like. Accrington is almost on our doorstep so they are bound to have run across it over the years.
