In Jessie Briton’s moving new play, it’s November 1917 and the Third Battle of Ypres is lurching towards its bloody conclusion as young soldiers Will, Robbie and Jumbo are thrust into a landscape starkly different to the playing fields and estates of their Sunderland home… When the trio’s singing causes a disturbance up the line they face unwelcome attention from their commanding officers.
