Description "Keep the Home Fires Burning" is a musical theatre piece that portrays the experience of World War I from the perspective of those left at home in Australia. A series of vignettes on stage will portray the lives of diverse groups of Australians during war time against a backdrop of events overseas. With humour and pathos, this production examines the impact of the first Anzac experience, from the initial excitement of 'the great adventure' to the ultimate sobering consequences of war. The original play, written by a local author, is accompanied by songs from the era and staged by Huon Valley Theatre in Southern Tasmania.
