Blighty (1914-1918)

0/5 ( ratings)

This ensemble play is perfect for schools and colleges wanting to engage students with the issue of war.
August 1914: War is declared in Germany. The play explores the reactions of ordinary men and women to the British military recruitment drive, and the branding of young men who didn’t join up as cowards.
Moving to the trenches, the shock and tedium of those caught up in the terrible conflict is portrayed, from the ordinary soldier, to volunteer nurses, to the officers faced with an impossible task of winning a few yards of territory on the battlefield.
Home-leave to “Blighty” becomes an essential respite for war-weary young soldiers longing to escape from the trauma of their experiences.
