To the Green Fields Beyond

From November 9 to19, we are presenting Nick Whitby’s electrifying play about the Tank Corps in World War I, written in 2000 and first seen at the Donmar Warehouse in London, England.

Persephone is very proud to present its Canadian Premiere!

Set in a forest in France in 1918, an eight man tank crew waits to go into battle. The play explores the nature of war and human sacrifice. It is a play that many of us will relate to has we struggle with questions concerning our own war-torn world. We have assembled a fine cast of actors and our production team is headed by two graduates from N T S. Everyone is very excited to be part of this project. Once again the Persephone mandate is manifested in the opportunities that this production is giving to so many young professional artists in Montreal.
