Theatres of War-Performed by The Phoenix Players Join us in celebrating the Centenary of World War I. “The Way to Mandalay” is a one act play set in a field hospital somewhere on the Western Front in the First World War, a soldier struggles to regain his memory after being found shell-shocked and with no identification tag. The Soldier, Horace had been an actor and entertainer in the music halls and his identity is confused with many characters real and imaginary – Harry Lauder, Vesta Tilley and Stan Jefferson (later to become Stan Laurel). The play is loosely based on the true experiences of Horace Hillerby who trod the boards with many famous names in the early 1900’s. The show continues with Songs and Poems and letters regarding the Christmas Truce for WWI. Also included are Songs and Poems from World War II and a short play about the Women’s Land Army called “Mums Army”. Tickets available on 08454 676462 or Book online phoenixstage.co.uk £6 (£5 concessions)
