Description

Description

South Devon, 2001. A devastating disease ravages the countryside, and dairy herdsman Michael's farm becomes a battleground for his business, heritage, and friendship with local vet Jeff. Ten years later, the scars of that struggle remain evident in their relationship as much as on the landscape. The play charts the story of one farm amidst a crisis that saw the slaughter of four million animals and the postponement of a General Election. It premiered at Theatre503, London, in September 2015, before transferring to Bristol Old Vic. Written by Bea Roberts, And Then Come The Nightjars is a powerful exploration of the human cost of crisis and the enduring power of friendship and community.
