“If the previous play was a great success, The Accrington Pals was more than that. “A” reckons it is the best production she has ever seen in Colchester. I can’t think of a better one. It was an ideal choice of play in this year when the media are trying to ram so much pro-war propaganda down our throats. The actors were all excellent, the staging was imaginative and the costumes were superb. We are hoping our daughter and grandson can get tickets for Saturday.”
