Malcolm Stent, Don MacLean

Written by Malcolm Stent and Don Maclean, BRUMMEGEM PALS is the story of best mates Jackie Moore and Danny Arrowsmith, seventeen years of age and intent on abandoning their apprenticeships in favour of adventure. With just two performances only at Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on Tuesday 25 – Wednesday 26 October 2016.

The summer of 1914 heard the threat of war rumbling around Europe and by August Britain was at war with Germany. Jackie and Danny are Brummie lads, best friends since school who enlist in the 14th and serve together all through World War 1, from recruitment and training, through the Battle of the Somme, Italy and back to France. They experience the full horrors and inhumanity of war, fear, death, the squalor of the trenches, gas attacks and incompetent leadership, tempered only by the comradeship of the men they serve with and their love for their families at home.
