Save the date for the next play reading edition! The play, titled "1918", is set on the East African front during the final year of the Great War. It follows four soldiers from across the British Empire - Stanley from Jamaica, Olang’ from near Lake Victoria, Kapur from India, and James from South Africa - as their unlikely friendship is tested by exhaustion, hunger, and disease. Drawn together by chance and held together by hope, they face the brutal realities of war while navigating loyalty, survival, and their own dreams. When their journey brings them into contact with Maghanga, a local medicine man, and his apprentice Mkacharo, their world opens to new choices and heartbreaking decisions in a story about courage, connection, and the human cost of war.
