Before the Leaves Fall
T588747488
The play follows Mac's life from his childhood in the countryside to the trenches in France. Mac's story addresses themes of relationships, prejudice, integrity, loyalty, courage and sacrifice. In the midst of the carnage of World War 1 there is still humour to be found and glimpses of humanity spreading light in the darkness.
