Northern Broadsides in partnership with the New Vic present
a new play by Deborah McAndrew, directed by Barrie Rutter
An idyllic summer in 1914 rural Lancashire. Excitement is building for the Wakes week and the annual Rushbearing Festival with its singing, courting, drinking and dancing. The looming war barely registers…
An August Bank Holiday Lark is a gentle , deeply-moving drama poised at the tipping point between peace and war. Intensely nostalgic and emotionally rich, it entertains and rips the heart-strings.
Through the lens of traditional, rural life we follow the colourful and charming stories of people as they move from exuberance and touching naivety to a profound and devastating loss of innocence.
