A new play by Townsend Productions (the people who brought you United We Stand, a play about the Shrewsbury pickets) speedway, the wall of death and the Spanish Civil War – DARE DEVIL RIDES TO JARAMA.<\/p>\n

To you we speak, you numberless Englishmen,
\nTo remind you of the greatness still among you
\nCreated by these men who go from your towns
\nTo fight for peace, for liberty and for you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clem Beckett and Christopher Caudwell were such men. Moved by most Spaniards\u2019 determination to defend themselves against Franco\u2019s rising fascist army, they crossed the Pyrenees, like so many other volunteers that recognised the defence of Spanish democracy against fascism was their fight too.<\/p>\n

Clem \u2018Dare Devil\u2019 Beckett, the rugged Speedway star, and Caudwell, literary critic, poet and aeronautical expert, were considered unlikely friends; but a common cause brought them together and they died at their machine gun post covering their battalion\u2019s retreat at the Battle of Jarama in February 1937.<\/p>\n

Commissioned by The International Brigades Memorial Trust,\u201cDare Devil Rides To Jarama\u201d is a new play by Neil Gore that tells the story of the British and Irish volunteers at the beginning of the brutal Civil War in Spain, and captures the raw passions and emotions of idealism and despair, hope and anger, determination and fear, through powerful storytelling, stirring songs, poetry and puppetry.<\/p>\n
