Set in the Flanders trenches, Christmas ’15 imagines what happens when two soldiers, one German, one English, want to replay the famous football match in no man’s land one year before. War has moved on, comrades aren’t supportive, and the brass on both sides will go to any lengths to prevent fraternisation…
A new play by Glyn Carter, Christmas 15 explores themes of comradeship, idealism, class and power. Directed by Dominique Gerrard.
“Sharp dialogue … humour works well … resonates strongly” – playwright Alan Harris.
