Not About Heroes, is a promenade play performed on the streets of Saltaire.
The audience will enter the war-weary world of 1919 to meet survivors of the Great War, whose lives are by no means universally tragic, but often funny and sometimes outrageous.
Based on real people who lived & worked in Saltaire, the characters share their fascinating experiences and provide insights into the future.
Starting on the bridge by the railway station, you will see lives unfold and meet more characters on the way.
Don’t miss this unique Great War Experience!
Performance dates: 13th and 14th September
Meeting point is by the bridge at the junction of Victoria Road/Albert Terrace. 11.15am and 2.30pm on both dates.
