HOME-FIRES: Staged Reading

Kayleigh Hawkins

Concrete Playground invite you to the sharing of HOME-FIRES a new play in development.
 
'Men may light the fires but it's women keep 'em burning.
There's power here. Real power. Power greater than telling him you’ve a headache. 
Would you like that power?'
 
1914.
Britain went to war. 
Rose stayed at home.
5 Christmases. 4 Birthdays.
With husband Billy in the trenches, she finds new life with gin-guzzling Mattie, new liberty with prickly widow Gladys and a new kind of love in the shape of misfit heiress Selby, but can it last when the 'real' boys come home?
Against a backdrop of uncertain futures in ‘the war to end all wars’, HOME-FIRES explores new ideas about gender, sexuality and women’s roles in a rapidly changing world.
