Has anyone been to see The Accrington Pals at The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester?
information courtesy of Royal Exchange website:
THE ACCRINGTON PALS 17 January 13 - 16 February 13
A POWERFUL AND POIGNANT DRAMA BASED ON A REAL-LIFE STORY
On the eve of the First World War the young men of Accrington hear Kitchener’s call for a New Army and become the smallest town in England to raise a Pals Volunteer Brigade.
When they arrive in France, the brutal reality of the trenches is beyond anything they were prepared for.
And back home amongst the women they leave behind – their mothers, wives, daughters, lovers – nothing can ever be the same again.
Priced from £10 upwards.
