"After traversing about a mile of trenches… we arrived at the entrance of a long tunnel which we entered and, proceeding almost to the other end of it, made ourselves comfortable and awaited the signal… Our guns had been silent almost all night… but at 5.30 the barrage was opened up. Even down in the tunnel, which was close to 60 feet deep, the sound was like a vast roll of thunder. We hurried out and I do not think I shall ever forget the sight which met our eyes as we reached the lip of the crater into which the tunnel ran.”
-Sergeant Harold Panabaker, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery

Set in real time, this new play by William Lloyd tells the evocative story of three Canadian students in the First World War in the hour leading up to the monumental Battle of Vimy Ridge.
