Originally researched and presented by Sheffield Popular Arts in 2008, this emotive piece of devised theatre includes songs, poems and stories reflecting the tremendous impact of the war on the lives of South Yorkshire and Derbyshire residents between 1914 and 1918 -  the soldiers who went to fight, the families they left behind and the men who stayed at home.

The  fragments, based on recollections, letters  and memories, give an insight into the reactions of the people directly involved, and is an absorbing and informative consideration of the momentous times, in turn humorous or deeply moving.
