Act III Company

Sixty years on from the end of World War Two, but for one Hull family the past cannot be consigned to history. There are secrets from that time that won’t stay buried. If truth is the first casualty of war, what is the legacy for the generation that came after? What happens when the past collides with the present and the ties that bind threaten to tear the family apart?

Written, devised and performed by members of Hull Truck’s Act III Company and directed by Rupert Creed (curator of Turning the Tide), Echoes tells a story of parental love and lies that resonate down the decades. The story of a family at war long after the peace had been won.
