Based on Sebastian Faulks's international best-selling novel, Birdsong tells the story of one man's journey through an all consuming affair of the heart and into the horror of the First World War.
While a guest of a factory owner in pre-First World War France, Stephen Wraysford embarks on a passionate love affair with Isabelle, the wife of his host. The affair changes both of them for ever. A few years later Stephen finds himself back in the same part of France, but this time as a soldier at the the bloodiest encounter in British military history- The Battle Of The Somme. As his men die around him, Stephen turns to his enduring love for Isabelle for the strength to carry on and to save something for future generations.
For the first time, this terrible yet also beautiful story about love, courage and the endurance of the human spirit is brought to the stage in a version by Rachel Wagstaff. The world premiere of this production is directed by Trevor Nunn.
