About War in Mind

War in Mind is a new project from Spaniel in the Works Theatre Company supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and looking at the legacy of World War One through stories about shell shock.
The project came about when we discovered Tetbury driver William Charles Phillips who died of paralysis in Gloucester Asylum in 1917. He wasn't actively fighting and yet the things he must have witnessed left his completely paralysed.

As part of the project we will work with groups to look at research material and family histories through a series of workshops. 
There will also be family workshops to create new print artworks based on World War One images inspired by the linocuts of William Kermode. 
More information about our events can be found on www.spanielworks.co.uk or on our War in Mind Facebook page.
