Blue Remembered Hills Matinee

We see the cast of seven seven-year-olds in real time on a summer afternoon during the Second World War playing in the Forest of Dean. This play, on the face of it simple and amusing with adult actors presenting children, has a very much deeper and darker message to offer, that of how human frailties and thought can be passed down from generation generation. The children play, fight, fantasise and swagger, their aggressions, fears, hostilities and rivalries a microcosm of adult interaction.
