Songs of Innocence

SONGS OF INNOCENCE at its heart is a coming of age tale set against the backdrop of rural life, a time of innocence, and passing the painfully relatable thresholds of youth in the Edwardian countryside with heart-melting music and a warm comedic atmosphere. We very much believe in the idea that if you want to share a message with a play, the last thing you should do is make the play about the message. The play features normal people living normal lives, caught up in everything that seems so important to them in that moment, just as we are, whilst not knowing of or ignoring the seemingly far away issues. And then being the ones to suffer the consequences when those issues come home. The play explores class, sexuality and gender as well as the dangers of factionalism and political separatism, an ever-important topic especially in our post-Brexit world, in a way that is accessible, subversive and deeply relevant.
