The Accrington Pals Ron Barber Studio

4-6 & 11-13 November 2004

Set in the town of Accrington during 1914-16, this lyrical play charts the men from the local volunteer battalion (the pals) as they march off to the Great War with their experiences in the trenches contrasted with those of the women they leave behind. Funny and sad, the play paints a powerful and moving picture of life during wartime.
