A theatre production that fuses performance with projected animation to share the true story of Edith Ainscow amd Geoffrey Boothby during the First World War, based on the anthology Thirty-odd Feet Below Belgium: An Affair of Letters in the Great War 1915-1916 by Arthur Stockwin.

Over 18 months, a relationship blossoms through little more than written correspondence – beautifully caring and often funny, their letters are brought to life using an exciting fusion of digital and traditional storytelling.
