BAD Apple Theatre Company will return to the Dales with an original comedy-drama, The Thankful Village.
It will be performed at Appletreewick Village Hall next Thursday, May 19, at 7.30pm.
Written by Kate Bramley, formerly of Hull Truck Theatre, the play follows the lives of three women from the same rural household - above and below stairs - through the long years of The Great War.
They are left behind to cope as their men-folk march off to Flanders. Each one faces up to the challenges in her own way, with resilience, humour, a sense of duty and whatever vestiges of hope she can muster.
The Thankful Villages were those which lost no men in the Great War. There were only 52 settlements in England and Wales which had this blessing.
The play stars Kaitlin Howard, Zoe Land and Fiona Organ and features music from Jez Lowe, part of the award-winning team behind the BBC Radio 2 Radio Ballads series.
