My Great Grandfather was a member of the Accrington Pals.
He was one of the lucky ones who survived the war.

That's brilliant! I know for our photographs, we're heading to Accrington and we're visiting the church where soldiers carved their names (I think?). I'll definitely let our Director know about the paper and the library though - could come in very handy! Thank you. Rehearsals are going really well - looking forward to the show even more now.

I've been given the part of Annie in Accrington Pals but haven't yet been told much about my character. Do you have any information on her I might be able to use to prepare?

@warningtothecurious The way we looked at the part was that Annie had fallen pregnant and was taken in by Arthur. As the one with a child, she above all others would have had the most to lose by losing the breadwinner in the family. As the one with a child born out of wedlock, Annie always feels as if the others are looking down on her. Taking these things into consideration, it makes her 'I shall eat stones' speech all the more poignant. Hope that helps!

How did the audition go?

We're performing at The Carriageworks in Leeds from 24th to 27th September (Tiny House Productions). It's going to be staged in the upstairs studio, rather than a large stage, so it will feel very up 'close'. I'm really excited about it, I think it will be done well.

If you haven't already contacted them, the staff at Accrington Library are well worth a call or e-mail. For a small fee, they will provide you with an a copy of the Accrington Observer which can be used during the production, together with a guide to the price of fruit and veg at the stall in 1915! The library also have a collection of programmes from previous productions.
