Holding Hands at Paschendale
T1398738469
Based on the true experience of his grandfather, the play follows the lives of two men during the 3rd Battle of Paschendale in 1917. Mo is a London eastender, a sparky vaudeville entertainer-turned Kitchener volunteer, who is arrested for refusing to go over the top in the face of the enemy. Willie is a Belfast man ordered to do the arresting and who regard Mo as nothing more than a coward. Circumstances conspire to keep the two strangers handcuffed to each other as they await Mo's Court Marshal. Recommended 16+ Contains some strong language and sexual imagery.
