A November Day, Citizens' Theatre, Glasgow
Star rating: *** There must be homes all over the UK - and in Germany, France and beyond - where wee tin boxes and battered wooden chests hold memories of the First World War. But, 90 years after the November day that marked the armistice, it's unlikely anyone who lived through those times is still here to tell the tales connected to the medals, photographs, letters. Vivid and affecting remembrance comes, however, with this deftly-crafted two-hander by West Yorkshire's Thingumajig Theatre, which uses puppets, masks, live music and performance to take young audiences inside one family's experience of "the war to end all wars".
