The Dimming of the Day

The story follows Rosina and her friends Eliza and Katherine as they try to help the hundreds of Belgian refugees who fled their home country and arrived in Sevenoaks during the war. When news arrives from Rosina’s friend Charles, she sets off a journey which will change her life. The play sees the characters forced to question their own motives and views of war and shines a light on a little known part of Sevenoaks’ history.

This staged radio play is performed live and inspired by Rosina Caplen, a local resident, who fought tirelessly to find the body of her husband during the First World War.
