Pig Iron reprised one of its most acclaimed productions, GENTLEMEN VOLUNTEERS, to coincide with the company’s 20th anniversary, as well as the 100th anniversary of the First World War.
A new cast brought this sweeping drama of American idealism and unlikely love affairs to life. Set against the chaos of World War I, GENTLEMEN VOLUNTEERS follows two American ambulance drivers from the idyllic campus of Yale University to the battlefields of France. An epic romance in the style of classic films such as Casablanca, GENTLEMEN VOLUNTEERS features live music and James Sugg’s award-winning low-tech sound design.
