Pentabus Theatre Company and the Royal Court Theatre are teaming up to stream live a performance of Each Slow Dusk, Rory Mullarkey’s play about rural experiences of World War I.
Pentabus commissioned award-winning playwright Rory Mullarkey to write Each Slow Dusk in the year of the centenary of the outbreak of the war.
The production, directed by Pentabus artistic director Elizabeth Freestone, is touring village halls and community centres all over the country as part of a tour which ends on 23 November.
Each Slow Dusk charts the experiences of three young men serving on the Western Front, linking their stories to a woman today who has just returned to her village after a tour of the battlefields.
Pentabus was founded in 1974 with the aim of producing original work about the rural world for local and national audiences. The tour of Each Slow Dusk is part of the company’s programme to celebrate its 40th birthday, and will be its second show streamed live by the Royal Court after 2013’s Milked by Simon Longman.
The play will be streamed live on Friday (21 November) at 7:30PM from the Palace Community Centre in Ibstock, Leicestershire. The performance can be watched at the Royal Court web site.
