The Original Theatre Company & Birdsong Productions Ltd presents Sebastian Faulk’s Birdsong at the beautiful Grand Theatre, Blackpool. This classic story of love and courage will be coming to The Grand from Tuesday 5 to Saturday 9 February.

“The play poignantly intermingles ghosts of past and present, and fully expresses the black poetry of this carnage…and the landscape it inhabits.” Michael Coveney, The Independent.

Prepare yourself for this epic tale of love and war set both before and during the Great War.

In pre war France, a young Englishman Stephen Wraysford embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their world upside down. As war breaks out over the idyll of his former life, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through the sprawling tunnels that lie deep under ground.

Faced with the unprecedented horror of the war Stephen clings to the memory of Isabelle as his world explodes around him.

The BBC 1 TV series of Birdsong was aired over Christmas 2011 and following on from the hit West End production, this brand new adaptation marks the very first touring production of the play, adapted by Rachel Wagstaff.

Birdsong is performed by a dynamic ensemble company including award winning actress Sarah Jayne Dunn (Hollyoaks), Charlie G Hawkins (Eastenders), Arthur Bostrom of ‘Allo, Allo’ fame, Tim Van Eyken (War Horse) and introducing newcomer Jonathan Smith as Stephen Wraysford. Don’t miss this beautifully performed production of an epic, award-winning tale.

You can see Birdsong at the Grand Theatre Blackpool from Tuesday 5 to Saturday 9 February Tickets from £10.00 (Booking and Transaction Fees Apply).
