Eden Must Go

4 Extra Debut. It's 1945 and on VE Day, Stephen Pym learns that he has won a scholarship to Cambridge. Stars Charles Simpson.

Martin Worth's play comes from his experiences of going up to Cambridge University in 1945 when he'd just left school.

But the majority of his fellow students were men who had just fought in the war and had learnt to grow up more quickly.

The experience of war had marked them, but not in the way you might expect.
