Making Theatre to Commemorate the First World War
For our next project we are researching the impact of the War on the lives of people living in Wimborne and surrounding areas.
We are getting lots of press coverage. Click here to see our piece in the Blackmore Vale Magazine and see below to listen to our recent Radio Solent interview:

We held two ‘Gathering Stories of World War One’ sessions at the Priest’s House Museum, Wimborne, and people told us about handed-down memories, and several intimate and poignant objects, including brought photographs and letters relating to family members in the Great War. They told stories about the emotional legacy of war, and how its effect has been felt through generations.
One significant object was the Autograph Book of a local music teacher, who became a Nurse at the Beaucroft Red Cross Auxilliary Hospital – a small book full of untold stories.
