Over by Christmas
Northwich Railway StationSaturday 20 September
10.30am - Free
During September, Theatre in the Quarter will embark on a journey around the railway stations of Cheshire to present Over by Christmas, a choral commemoration of the departure of Cheshire’s soldiers to the Western Front in Autumn 2014.
Featuring well-loved songs of the period, Over by Christmas captures the spirit of optimism and patriotism of those leaving their loved ones, perhaps never to see them again.
A community choir of ‘soldiers’, ‘nurses’ and their families will recreate this poignant and historic moment, accompanied by live musicians.
Watch a trailer here.
A Call to Arms by Alan Lowe tells the story of the first 6 months of WW1, as told through the local Northwich newspapers - details of the book here.
