The Last Post

The Last Post is a theatrical adaptation of Keith Campion's novel, written especially for primary children, and focuses on the correspondence relationship between a boy and his father on the front line in WW1.

Through their letters we learn about life in WW1, both on the front line and at home, and the effect that the war had on the lives of people in Britain at the period. The split stage, multi-rolling and use of projections allows for fast-paced transitions from England to Belgium so the audience remain immersed in this simple but moving story that entertains in an appropriate and engaging manner.

The show is brought to you by Hobgoblin Theatre Company, who have been producing theatre for children for over 15 years.
