Tower Players presents a brand new, original play based around R.A.F. Hednesford during the 1940s and 1950s.
The play follows two local brothers and their time spent at the camp, the elder during World War Two training as ground crew, and the younger as part of National Service in the early 1950s. Both find their lives changed forever by their experiences.
In echoes of current events, the camps are later used to house refugees during the second half of the 1950s. As Hungarians fleeing the failed uprising against Russia begin to arrive, they bring with them new challenges to long held beliefs and prejudices.
Whilst the story is fictitious, with drama, comedy and romance in abundance, the narrative is underpinned by extensive historical research. With recent events in Ukraine, the play is a reminder of the need for understanding, compassion, and generosity of spirit towards others less fortunate than ourselves..
