The company that staged a popular adaptation of World War I-set Birdsong earlier this year is returning to the Playhouse with a new production of another wartime drama, Terence Rattigan’s Flare Path, from Tuesday 10th to Saturday 14th November.

Based on Rattigan’s experiences as a tail gunner during World War II, Flare Path paints an evocative portrait of life in wartime Britain for the life-and-death existence of the R.A.F. bomber crews, and the wives and sweethearts who were left awaiting their return.
