Soon a young teacher who can play arrives in the village. But is she who she says she is? Meanwhile Flora is waging a war against her older sister, and when a young evacuee arrives from London she has reinforcements. The Way It Was tells Jack and Flora’s story in a brilliant, often humorous evocation of home life in a rural community in Wales. It takes audiences on a vibrant, historical a real celebration of the wartime spirit in Wales! |
