SUMMARY:And Then Come The Nightjars
DESCRIPTION:A tender\, frank and funny play about a farmer struggling to su
 rvive the Foot and Mouth pandemic.\n\nThe play begins in 2001. Disease rav
 ages the countryside\, pyres are lit on the horizon\, and dairy herdsman M
 ichael is trapped as his farm becomes a battleground for his business\, hi
 s heritage\, and his friendship with local vet Jeff. Twelve years on and t
 he battle scars are as evident on their relationship as they are on the la
 ndscape.\n\nBea Roberts' play And Then Come The Nightjars charts the strug
 gle of one farm amidst a crisis that saw the slaughter of four million ani
 mals and the postponement of a General Election.\n\nThe play was joint win
 ner of the inaugural Theatre503 Playwriting Award\, and premiered at Theat
 re503\, London\, in September 2015\, before transferring to Bristol Old Vi
