Birdsong set to return to Gala to mark centenary
Based on
the world famous, emotionally powerful novel by Sebastian Faulks, this critically acclaimed
show returns from Monday 21 May to Saturday 26 May, 7.30pm (+ 2.30pm

“It left me
choked up and blinking back the tears at the end”
**** The
Daily Telegraph
Set in pre-war France. A young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford,
embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire
that turns their world upside down.
As the war breaks out over the idyll of his former life, Stephen
must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through
the sprawling tunnels that lie deep underground. Faced with the unprecedented
horror of the war and with her love forever engraved on his heart, Stephen
clings to the memory of Isabelle, as his world explodes around him.
This enthralling version of one of the nation’s most loved novels
has been adapted by Rachel Wagstaff, and brought to life by the award-winning
Original Theatre Company.
A mesmerising story of love, survival and courage. Set before and
during the Great War and performed by a large ensemble company.
“Moving,
gripping, dramatically electrifying and outstanding”
**** The Times
