Days of Significance – Spring Season at the Station
Friday 6th March will be a BSL-interpreted performance with Sherrie Eugene-Hart.
Roy Williams’s hard-hitting play, “Days of Significance,” is a powerful modern drama that uses a classic three-act structure to explore the volatile lives of young British people caught between two different battlegrounds. The narrative follows two young soldiers, Ben and Jamie, and their partners, as they prepare for and endure active service in the Iraq conflict.
Act One is set on the streets of an urban English town, filled with drink-fueled brawls and sexual tension.
Days of Significance – The War is Out There. The War is Here.
Written by Roy Williams
Directed by Natalie Simone
Designed by Andrea Kilgour and Alex Hall.
Performance dates: Sat 28th Feb – Sat 7th March 2026

The intense content, which includes strong, often obscene language, explicit violence, and mature subject matter, means the play is rec
