<P>'SONS OF PARADISE'</P></FONT><FONT face="Courier New">
<P></B>This newly formed company brings together Sheffield actors, writers and
directors to promote new work for northern audiences.</P><B>
<P>'Sons of Paradise'</B> is a play about love, betrayal, the horror of war and
ultimately, redemption.</P><B>
<P>Charles </B>is a fictional last remaining veteran of the Great War. The
Government wants to honour him - and through him all the soldiers who fought and
died in World War One – with a State funeral and burial in Westminster
Abbey.</P>
<P>But <B>Charles</B> is reluctant to be put 'up amongst the gods', as he does
not feel worthy of such an honour.</P>
<P>He remembers, as a young man, signing up with his best mate, <B>George,</B>
to fight with the Sheffield Pals Battalion. They would stick together to 'Biff
the Boche’. But the rats, blood, the stench of the trenches and George’s growing
disillusion with the war threatens to break their friendship forever. </P>
<P>With increasing pressure from the government to agree to the State funeral,
<B>Charles</B> is forced to face his own past: to remember his lost love,
<B>Phylis,</B> and to help <B>George’s</B> family to heal wounds inflicted over
90 years ago.</P><B>
<P>Sons of Paradise </B>is a play in which human frailties are washed in the
healing waters of time and seem small compared to the greater betrayals of
governments and generals.</P>
