Photo Flash: Les Enfants Terribles - The Trench

From the award-winning team behind 'The Terrible Infants', 'Ernest & the Pale Moon' and 'The Vaudevillains', comes a new play inspired by the true story of a miner who became entombed in a tunnel during World War One. As the horror threatens to engulf him, he discovers another world beneath the mud and death. Setting off on an epic journey of salvation, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur as he questions what's real, what's not and whether it even matters? The Trench blends physical storytelling, verse, puppetry and live music from Alexander Wolfe.

The Trench is written by Oliver Lansley, a published playwright who also works extensively in television co-creating/writing ITV2's 'FM' and numerous other projects including 'WHITES' which was shown on BBC2 and starred Alan Davies. He was named a 'Broadcast Hotshot's' by Broadcast magazine and won the 'Multi-talented' award at Channel 4's 4-Talent Awards.

Alexander Wolfe is a talented musician and composer who has worked with many artists including Jamie Cullen and Paul Weller before embarking on a solo career with his debut album 'MORNING BRINGS A FLOOD' in 2009 winning vast critical acclaim from the New York Post ("the most beautiful album I have hear in years, period.") to The Sunday Times. ("A beautiful album")
