Before the play... hear the people who lived it.Join us at The Casa for a special, free-entry screening of the moving documentary that inspired the acclaimed stage production They Were All Some Mothers' Sons.In May 1946, German prisoners of war arrived at a camp on the King George V playing field in Huyton. What happened next changed their lives forever as they fell in love with local girls, married, and became an enduring part of the Merseyside community.Compiled by playwright Mike Howl, this documentary features the original recorded interviews with the former German POWs and their families. Listen to the real voices, memories, and personal stories behind the history before the actors bring them to life on stage later this month.
Planning on coming to see the theatrical show on 26th September? Why not see the film first?
Entry to this documentary screening is completely free, providing the perfect companion piece and introduction to a remarkable local legacy.
