Broad Horizons Theatre Company

Broad Horizons Theatre Company presents an exciting new play, written by John Mangan and performed by Judi Daykin, which is a life-affirming celebration of a woman whose trailblazing story will never be forgotten.

It is 1915. An English nurse has been captured by the Germans and accused of treason. She has faced 60 days of near-solitary confinement, interrogation, and now a trial. Surely the Germans will not execute a woman?

Yet Edith Cavell is facing another trial, alone in her cell. 60 days alone with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Edith Cavlll is facing the silence.

Set in Edith’s prison cell in Brussels, this one-woman play sets out to find meaning in her trials, discovering who she is and why she lived, and how she travelled from a quiet Norfolk parish to a prison cell in Brussels.

“This play is both powerful and provoking” – Eastern Daily Press
