Exeter Express and Echo

SEBASTIAN Faulks' best-selling novel Birdsong is now a critically-acclaimed stage play and comes to Devon this month.

It's a touching story of love, courage and sacrifice during the Great War and following on from the hit West End production, this new adaptation marks the first tour.

In pre-war France, a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their world upside down.

As war breaks out, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme, clinging to the memory of Isabelle as his world explodes around him. A dynamic cast of 12 shape Faulks's much loved wartime epic into a must-see play, which takes to the stage at the Theatre Royal in Plymouth from March 18 to 23. It stars award-winning actress Sarah Jayne Dunn (Drop Dead Gorgeous, Hollyoaks), Charlie G Hawkins (EastEnders), Arthur Bostrom ('Allo 'Allo!) and newcomer Jonathan Smith as Stephen Wraysford.
