TALK: The 306 - in conversation with Oliver Emmanuel and Gareth Williams about their musical First World War Trilogy for the National Theatre of Scotland

Composer Gareth Williams and Playwright Oliver Emmanuel talk about their First World War trilogy, The 306, written to commemorate the 306 men shot for cowardice and desertion in World War One.

The 306: Dusk is the final part in the National Theatre of Scotland's World War One Trilogy, co-produced with Perth Theatre and part of the 1418 NOW programme of new work marking UK's WWI centenary commemorations. Co-created by award-winning duo, composer Gareth Williams and Oliver Emmanuel playwright, The 306: Dusk premieres later this year at Perth Theatre. The 306: Dusk brings the trilogy into the modern day, exploring the depth of feeling around the First World War a century on from its conclusion, and how the spectre of trauma continues to haunt soldiers in the modern day.
