Wiltshire. 1915. As the shadow of war falls over the landscape, a young couple find themselves caught up in the turmoil of troubled times.
For generations, John and Anna’s families have made a living working the land. Growing up next door to each other in back-to-back cottages, everyone has always expected them to marry. Now, with half a million young soldiers pouring into the county, the world seems bigger than they ever imagined, and the future far from certain.
Echo’s End is a story about two Wiltshire families and the seismic changes which altered their lives and the identity of their county forever.
Echo’s End was commissioned by Salisbury Playhouse, and received its world premiere production there in 2017.
