Hello all,

Just thought some of you would like to know, the original creators and actors of the Canadian play, "Billy Bishop Goes to War" are bringing their play back to the stage.

Sorry, only in Canada for now, but in case some of you are travelling this way before the end of the month, it may be worth taking the time to see it. A link to the theatre is provided at the end of the article.

Personally, I hope they take it on the road again, as I've only ever seen a video recording of a stage production...

Cheers,

Chris

Chris, where did you get the video recording? I've never seen that. Sadly, I won't make it to Canada to see the new production.

I watched it online about 6 months ago. Cant think where it was hosted but might be worth doing a goole search.

Regards,

Jonathan S

Edited: Actually the Play I watched may have been "The Kid Who Couldnt Miss" with Paul Cowan. For some reason I cant paste the link to it here but you can find it via Wikipedia.

Hi Sophie,

If I remember correctly, it was either in my University's media library (University of Prince Edward Island), or in the main provincial library in town (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island).

I'm long past my Uni days, but you could try inter-library loan...although Canada to the UK(?) may be a bit of a stretch!
