A 'STARTLING and timely' play looking at the impact of war on rural communities will be coming to Arnside this weekend.

'Each Slow Dusk' will be held at the Arnside Educational Institute on Sunday at 7.30pm, performed by the nationally-acclaimed Pentabus Theatre group.

The powerful and dramatic play is about the legacy of the war – how events become myths through the art that comes afterwards, and how individual stories become communal experiences.

It charts the experience of a young farm worker serving on the Western Front, linking his story to a woman today, just home to her village after a tour of the battlefields.

The play immerses audiences in the reality of conflict to give a fresh way of thinking about war - from the soldier’s perspective then, and the women’s perspective now.

Each Slow Dusk was written exclusively for rural touring.
