WOMEN’S involvement in the First World War will be celebrated at a play in Lyme Regis on November 21.
The Women of World War One combines the creative elements of poetry, prose and music to portray the subject of women’s experiences throughout this cataclysmic event.
Factory workers, nurses, those in the Women’s Land Army, fiancées, wives, mothers and daughters, tell their stories in their own words, through letters, diaries and poems.
Their emotions are eloquently expressed via vividly illustrated slides and in the music of their contemporaries: Rebecca Clarke, Melanie Bonis, Nadia and Lili Boulanger and songwriter Muriel Herbert.
The play is described as ‘a poignant, moving and descriptive experience’. Women of World War One is at the Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis, on Friday, November 21 from 7.30pm.
