Coope Boyes & Simpson

Haunting and irreverent, the words and music of In Flanders Fields catch the indestructible spirit that defied one of the greatest human tragedies of the twentieth century.

A tribute to lives caught up in the War to end all Wars, the performance brings together the poetry which turned experience of ‘the pity of war’, the biting humour of the soldiers on the Western Front who contributed to Trench magazine, The Wipers Times and – most evocative of all - music of the time and specially commissioned songs.
