Tonight will be the last chance for Oxford theatre-goers to see a play which brings to life an uplifting story of three young boys fighting in the trenches of Ypres during the First World War.
The Muddy Choir, on tonight at 7.30pm at the Pegasus Theatre, has been written by playwright Jesse Briton and has been successfully taken to theatres and schools across the land as the nation marks the centenary of the start of the Great War.
It tells the story of three young boys serving with the Durham Light Infantry in 1917 and the humanising power of music Young soldiers Will, Rob and Jumbo are thrust into a landscape starkly different to the playing fields and estates of their Sunderland home.
When the trio’s singing causes a disturbance up the line, they face unwelcome attention from their commanding officers.
