“Beneath those teeming Salford streets we toiled. Unnoticed up above, unseen and quick... And – more’s the point – unheard, by those up top. Aye, silent. That’s our special skill – - and curse.” In February 1915, a small group of men left their wives and jobs to dig tunnels beneath German trenches on the battlefield of the Somme. This gripping verse drama relives the bravery, humour and fierce loyalty of ordinary men who encounter heart-rending and terrifying experiences deep under enemy lines.
