This touring show was commissioned by Central England Quakers in response to the increasing influence of military values in everyday life, especially in our schools (ex-Education Minister Michael Gove’s professed wish to see a ‘military ethos’ in all schools). As has been demonstrated recently by Gove’s successor, Nicky Morgan, this policy is still being pursued and if anything, is being ‘upped’.

You are warmly invited to come along and explore this important question together, and from many different standpoints. Women of all ages are welcome. Free Entry.

Speakers will include Jonathan Steele (Guardian journalist) and Andrew Murray (Chief of Staff at UNITE the Union). More to be announced soon.
