Adam Thorpe - Devastated Areas
4 Extra Debut. A moving study of civilian grief in the wake of the Great War of 1914-1918. Starring Eliza Langland and Finlay Welsh.
Adam Thorpe's play explores civilian grief during and after the Great War of 1914-1918 in three interweaving stories.
In Berlin, a sculptress is working on a memorial statue to the volunteers; in the valley of the Somme a glazier is repairing the blown-out windows of a church; and on the Berkshire Downs a gardener tends his roses.
