Book Synopsis
A new play inspired by the true story of a miner who became entombed in a tunnel during World War One. As the horror threatens to engulf him, he discovers another world beneath the mud and death. Setting off on an epic journey of salvation, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur as he questions what’s real, what’s not and whether it even matters? The Trench blends Les Enfants Terribles’ acclaimed brand of physical storytelling, verse, puppetry and live music from Alexander Wolfe.

Trade Review
"'engrossing intensity - truly original and powerful' - The Stage 'the most moving and visually stunning performance I have seen on the Fringe so far - lyrical and poetic - dark and moving - Impressive a masterly piece of theatre.' - 5 stars 'The overall vision stays with you like a strange, significant dream.' - The Times"
