Graham Harvey, agricultural story editor of The Archers, brings to the stage the true tale of an unlikely Cotswold hero and an enduring romance.  Set in the Oxfordshire countryside at the end of World War Two, this is no nostalgic, bucolic ramble. It is the true story of Elizabeth, a young Somerset land girl who set off in search of a best-selling author in the darkest days of war.  Moving between the 1940s and the current day, the play raises some urgent issues about the state of farming in Britain today.  Above all, it reflects that the love of the countryside, the need to protect it and issues of national identity, are timeless.

Graham Harvey will lead a post show discussion about his play and about how he has built environmental and political issues into the Archers.
