A RESEARCHER is seeking the views of Ryedale residents who attended The Hundred Years’ War performance at Helmsley Arts Centre.

A total of 37 war poems from the Bloodaxe anthology were performed by actors at the event on November 14.

Telling stories of war, the production told anecdotes from the Somme to those of the Second World War and the Holocaust.

Academic audience researcher Dr Kirsty Sedgman is looking for people who watched the performance who would be willing to fill out a short questionnaire.

She is hoping to fill the gap in the lack of knowledge about what people get out of live performances.
