In the shadow of a blackout, hope flickered. The war came to Ipswich, to its homes, and into the very hearts of its people. Home Fires is a powerful, immersive production that transports you to wartime Suffolk. From the families huddling in shelters, listening for the sound of a doodlebug, this is the story of a community that found extraordinary strength in the fight for freedom.

Using real-life accounts and local stories, this new heritage play will celebrate the courage, resilience, and spirit of a town that endured darkness and came out into the light.
