Letters from the Front

BATS, 21-25 April 2015

Inspired by centenary commemorations, this show is based on real-life letters sent to and from New Zealand soldiers in the First World War. With letters and diaries selected by the audience and never before seen by the cast, scenes are inspired by real words from WWI. From the trenches in France to leave in London; training in Egypt, under the gun in Gallipoli and back in the homestead in New Zealand - this is history coming to life.

"The slightest hint of something from a letter is able to spark off a scene that authentically represents the war experience." ~ Theatreview
