- 'All is Calm' interweaves a narrative of faith and football - pinned to the stories of the Christmas Truce football match of 1914, the women's munitions factory football team, and the distribution of 43 million Bibles and Gospels by SGM Lifewords.
"During war is hope possible?" This was the question raised by Matt Britton (In Yer Face/The Message) when writing the script for 'All is Calm'. This play is about those fragments of hope found and the comfort that faith brought, to so many caught up in the First World War. Grounded in factual events the play reimagines what might have happened in the events leading up to Christmas 1914, with each character inspired by real life accounts and linked to actual events.
Throughout November and December 2014, as part of the HOPE Greater Love campaign to commemorate the start of the First World War, 'All is Calm' toured throughout the North West, including performances in schools, prisons, and churches - with attendees receiving their own replica copy of the St John's Gospel that was given to troops all those years ago.
