Drawing on findings from the nationwide Great War Theatre project Dr Helen Brooks will share new discoveries about the ways in which theatre-makers responded to the First World War. During the talk she will discuss the recruiting sketches of the first eighteen-months of the war, the mobilisation of the Home Front from late 1915, and trench-plays including, most famously, Bruce Bairnsfather's smash-hit The Better 'Ole (1917).
Members and non-members of The Western Front Association are equally welcome. Any new visitors are guaranteed a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome from a group of like-minded enthusiasts.
