Through dance, visual effects and poetry, ‘Never Forget’ will unfold and offer the audience a feast of delight. The show will pay tribute not only to the heroes of Flanders Fields but also to all those who have made sacrifices in other theatres of conflict down the years and throughout the world.

Director of Music and Principal Conductor, Dennis Kay said: “The show will be spectacular and will take the audience on a roller coaster of emotion from a sense of apprehension and sadness through to hope and then finally jubilation as light overcomes darkness.
