Letters From the Front

When Arthur discovered a locked wooden chest filled with letters in the attic of his late mother’s house, an unlikely tale of young love was uncovered. Edith Ainscow and Geoffrey Boothby have only four incomplete days together before Geoffrey goes to the Front. Over the next 18 months, hope is sustained and a relationship blossoms through their letters which are full of life. They joke and tease, share articles they have read, music and shows they enjoyed; and they fall in love. This real-life romance is personal, universal and poignantly beautiful. Followed by a post-show discussion with the directors.
