West Cornwall. Harry Elton is starting a new life below the ground mining for tin. Across the channel, a great war rages.
‘You battle everyday with nature. You fight to drag minerals from the ground. You’re already fighters. You’re already warriors.’
This epic new production tells the untold story of Cornwall’s forgotten war heroes and the unique impact they had on the First World War. Featuring music from Seth Lakeman, HIRETH marks the centenary of the end of World War 1 in St Justs’ Grade 2 listed Miners Chapel.
