Home for Christmas

The remounting of one of Sam Starrett’s most poignant and cherished plays, Home For Christmas tells the story of the First World War through the eyes of a group of young men who
signed up and left Drumahoe, on what promised to be the adventure of a lifetime.

The production focuses on the lives of those left behind to wait and worry for their sons and brothers to return – a journey that all too few of them made. Performing alongside a local
professional cast will be members of East Bank Protestant Boys Flute Band.

The project will also include a workshop programme offered to the community and based in the Waterside for all the components of theatre production from performance, through stage management, design, marketing and production. The workshop programme will commence in summer 2013, with the production being staged in November 2013.
