Presented by Original Theatre and JAS Theatricals in association with Joshua Beaumont & Huw Allen, Tiny Giant Entertainment, Birdsong Productions and Wiltshire Creative.

Sebastian Faulks’ epic story of love and loss returns to the stage, marking the 30th anniversary of the international best-selling novel at Alexandra Palace Theatre.

The critically acclaimed show returns in a brand-new production for 2025, telling the mesmerising story of one man’s journey through an all-consuming love affair and into the horror of the First World War. Once seen never forgotten.

In pre-war France, a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, embarks on a passionate and dangerous affair with the beautiful Isabelle Azaire that turns their world upside down. As the war breaks out over the idyll of his former life, Stephen must lead his men through the carnage of the Battle of the Somme and through the sprawling tunnels that lie deep underground. Faced with the unprecedented horror of the war Stephen clings to the memory of Isabelle as his world explodes around him.

Starring award-winning actor Max Bowden, best known for the role of Ben Mitchell in EastEnders, James Esler (Litvinenko) and Charlie Russell (The Goes Wrong Show, And Then There Were None (BBC).
