DDOS present: The Accrington Pals

By Peter Whelan
Directed by Rosalind Brown

Set against the backdrop of the First World War, The Accrington Pals is a moving and deeply human drama inspired by the true story of the “Pals” battalions — groups of friends, brothers and workmates who enlisted together to fight for their country. Yet Peter Whelan’s play is less about the men at the front than the women they left behind, and the growing sense of solidarity that emerges as they face the uncertainties of war.

Filled with both warmth and heartbreak, this lyrical drama captures the courage and resilience of ordinary people, and the lasting impact of conflict on an entire community.
