'A Shropshire Lad'
presents the simple story of young aspiring writer, Terence Hearsay, sitting
alone one winter's night at a table in a busy pub in County Shropshire, just on
the border between England and Wales, in the year 1887.

As Terence scribbles and
tears page after page from his tablet in a poet's struggle to make sense of the
terrifying and merciless world he sees around him - one of sudden and shocking
death, of young love and broken hearts, of war and senseless slaughter, of the
swift passing of youth, of intolerance and cruelty - he slowly awakens to his
fellow patrons drinking lustily, dancing feverishly, and endlessly flirting in
a nightly and ritualistic celebration of their humble place in that very same
world.

A cast of 17 sturdy CK
Players portrays farmers and barmaids, soldiers and widows, jilted lovers,
murderers, constables, drunks, ghosts, and trollops in this lighthearted
embrace of the bittersweet miseries of life.
