Description:
A celebration of the enduring friendship between the brilliant and tragic composer and war poet, Ivor Gurney, and Marion Scott, writer and trailblazer of women musicians, written and performed by Jan Carey. It was to Scott that Gurney sent his music and poetry from the trenches. The horror of The Great War, contrasted with his deep love for his native Gloucester, coloured his writings. Yet Gurney's slow deterioration into madness after being gassed at Passchendaele showed that, despite their very different backgrounds, their friendship withstood war, illness and despair, as well as triumph, madness and joy.
