COMING BACK by popular demand for two nights only is a World War One show ‘Keep the Home Fires Burning’ by Uppermill Stage Society.
The musical production uses popular songs of the time as well as letters and poems written by soldiers at the Front and their wives waiting back home, capturing their poignant stories of the Great War.
And the show proved such a success when first performed in February at the Ebenezer Church in Uppermill that the society has been asked to bring it back to the stage again.
So, the show, which is written by Lindsey and Paul Bradbury and performed by members and friends of the society, will be performed again on Friday, July 18 and Saturday 19 – a timely commemoration of the 100 years since the onset of the war.
Sandie Beswick, chair of the Uppermill Stage Society, said: “We were overwhelmed by the impact the show had on our audiences.
“Many people who were unable to come along have asked if we could repeat the show, so we are happy to oblige.
“In fact, the show has proved such a success there is a possibility we will be taking it “on tour” later in the year as well.”
Tickets are now available from Turners Dry Cleaners in Uppermill and are priced at £6.
