The Accrington Pals

Supported by Jusrol (Berwick) and Tustain Motors (Berwick).

The Accrington Pals portrays the devastating effects of war on a small Lancashire mill town. This poignant and harrowing play is set in the early years of the First World War, depicting both the experiences of the men at the front and the women left behind to face social changes and the lies of propaganda.

While often comic vignettes portray the everyday life of a town bereft of men, the men face the horror that is the Battle of the Somme.

This production is a fund raising event for the Anthony Nolan Foundation.
