Over By Christmas

By Editor Girl on Oct 05, 2014

Over by Christmas is a choral commemoration in Cheshire’s railway stations featuring Words and Songs of the Great War.  It will be performed on Friday September 12th at 11.00am at the Community Centre and on Sunday 28th September at 11.00am at Poynton Railway Station.  Created by Helen Newall and Matt Baker with costume design by Paula Cain of Chester Costume House it is part of the Imperial War Museum’s First World War Centenery Project.

Featuring well loved songs of the period Over by Christmas captures the spirit of optimism and patriotism of those leaving their loved ones perhaps never to see them again.  A community choir of “soldiers”, “nurses” and their families will recreate this poignant and historic moment accompanied by live musicians.

This ambitious site-specific project is involving over 300 people of all ages from across Cheshire and will be performed at a total of 23 stations around the county and beyond.

Please note that times and venues may be subject to change and for further information check the website www.theatreinthequarter.co.uk
