We are delighted to announce that our next production will be a tribute in words and music to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. Titled “Ben’s War”, it is the personal story of Ben and Nellie’s wartime experiences. Our poignant portrayal of the heartache and humour of the Great War combines narrative with poems and popular wartime songs. You will be able to read all about it in the November issue of Connexion.
The audience will be encouraged to sing along to “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary”, “Goodbyeee”, "Pack Up Your Troubles . . .” etc and song sheets will be provided.
There will only be two performances and tickets are limited. We expect demand to be high for this unique event taking place 100 years after the end of the war to end all wars, so book your tickets as soon as you can.
In the south of the Gers we will be performing Ben’s War on:
Friday 9th November at the Salle des Fêtes, Sainte-Dode
and in the central Gers we will be performing on
Saturday 10th November at the Salle des Fêtes, Caillavet.
Both performances start at 6pm.
Tickets are €12 for adults  (€6 for under 12s)
Included in the price will be “Rations” and a welcome drink.
Rations will be chilli con carne and a baked potato served in a mess tin.
There will be a bar at each venue.
