World Premiere

Starts with a Letter by Ian McMillan

Original Songs & Music by Carol Laula

 

She is a WAAF from Wigan going AWOL for love. He is a sailor from the Royal Navy on a 48-hour pass. Together, Olive and John risk everything in a true wartime romance, forged through letters exchanged amidst the turmoil of World War II.

This new stage play features original songs and live music from Scotland’s celebrated singer-songwriter, Carol Laula, as we join Olive and John on their journey from Plymouth to Peebles - where every moment feels like stolen time.

“…confidence and class…impressive production…powerful and promising…”

Joyce McMillan THE SCOTSMAN

 “…an intense drama full of dark humour…edgy and dangerous one moment, comical the next – worth the ticket price alone…Four Knights in Knaresborough is likely to become a minor classic.”

EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

“It’s a rare treat to witness this double bill of one act miniatures by Sean Kane’s Theatre Enigma…a heartbreaking lament…theatrical nuggets…a pair of iridescent and beautiful unsung curios.” 

Neil Cooper THE HERALD
