Trenches, Guns, Drums and Yells is an educational treatment of World War One which coincides with and commemorates the forthcoming centenary anniversary. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, this interactive theatrical experience will include songs, poems, quotes and historical facts and detail about World War One. It will be presented by Lincoln Theatre Royal's brand new TIE outreach company. There will be three different shows on offer for three different age groups. The age groups will be as follows: Years 3-5 Ages 7-10. Years 6-8 Ages 10-13. Years 9+ Ages 13+ The show for the older age group will directly reference the GCSE syllabus with both historical and literary detail. Each show will include: - Interactive songs of the period - Historical reference points and a brief history of the War - War poet quotations - Dramatic scenes showing life back at home and in the trenches - Pictures and Props to illustrate the experience - Some humorous sketches to provide some light relief We anticipate that this show will be a popular, vibrant and educational experience for the audiences. There will be offers and discounts for teachers and teaching assistants accompanying the schools. We hope it will also be a positive and exciting theatrical experience for the children.
