War centenary marked with music and poetry at Loft Theatre in Leamington
The Men Who Marched Away features acclaimed musicians Chris Green and Sophie Matthews, who use music and song to tell the story of the First World War and the men who left their homes and families to fight and die in the mud of the trenches.
The production mixes soldiers’ songs, music hall numbers and war poems set to new music and original compositions.
