The Accrington pals

The Accrington Pals is a poignant and harrowing play set in the early years of the First World War, as the country's jingoistic optimism starts to wane and the true terror of warfare gradually becomes clear. The play looks at both theterrifying experiences of the men at the front and the women who were left behind to face social changes, deprivation and the lies of propaganda. Whileoften comicvignettes portray the everyday life of a town denuded of men, themenface the terror that is the Battle of the Somme. This compassionate play portrays thedevastating effects of war onthis typical Lancashire.
