Rehearsed Reading of Arnika, a new play written by the award winning poet, Mick Wood. Set deep in the Vosges mountain forest of 1950's Alsace, a small rural community comes to terms with its dark years under Nazi annexation, its recent liberation, and the turmoil of the ensuing French National War Tribunals. Clinging to the peasant folklore that has kept the fabric of their community together, the villagers are unsettled when a Commissaire arrives from Paris to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young resistance fighter, and the unity fo the village slowly begins to unravel.
