Mud and Blood-WWI Play on Pompey Elliott & a Soldier's Mother                                                 Ballarat Mechanics Institute

Mud and Blood, a compelling WWI play by Meg McNena is directed powerfully by Alice Bishop. Gallipoli and The Somme are re-lived; letters of love span the sea; women’s hands and voices are busy. Set 1914-1921 in battle and at home, real-life hero, Pompey Elliott, inspires as husband, father, general, Anzac veteran, leader. He and a soldier's mother deal with his vow to look after his boys in war as if they were his own. Potent themes of family, duty, trauma, betrayal, legacy and grief vividly unfold.   https://www.facebook.com/MudandBloodPlay/
