Marking the 100th anniversary since the outbreak of the First World War, Birdsong is the hit, critically stage adaptation based on the world famous novel by Sebastian Faulks.

In pre-war France, a young Englishman Stephen Wraysford embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their worlds upside down. As the war breaks out, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through the sprawling tunnels that lie deep underground.

Faced with the unprecedented horror of the war, Stephen clings to the memory of Isabelle and the idyll of his former life as his world explodes around him.

A mesmerising story of love and courage. Set both before and during the Great War performed by a large ensemble company including Olivier nominated actor and former Blue Peter presenter Peter Duncan and Hollyoaks' Jonny Clarke.

Birdsong has become a classic of modern English literature. Regularly voted as one of the nation’s all-time favourite books, it has sold more than two million copies in the United Kingdom and more than three million worldwide. Read Birdsong Education Pack here.
