Dramatix Theatre Development Trust presents the third annual Lest We Forget ANZAC Comemmorative Weekend, April 25th and 26th 2010 at Nelson's Founders Park, from 11am daily. Entry as usual is $2 a head - adult and child.
2010’s emphasis will be on ‘Prisoners of War’ with new stories on the ‘The Walls of Remembrance’, a specially built replica POW camp in the Energy centre complete with escape attempts and patrolling guards.
Also there will be two plays performed with a POW theme, one based on a local person's experiences.
We’re ‘reconstructing’ a bombed out French village in the Village green that our battle re-enactors will conduct their gun battles in and we have a war machines (bren gun etc) display for 2010 as well.
We’ll still have the usual highlights – Walls of Remembrance displays, Ian Lyle and horse Dusty, evacuee re-enactments, dad’s army – ‘allo ‘allo, and patrolling soldiers checking 'papers'.
There will be air-raid sirens, music, food, displays and more, all with the aim of helping us all to learn and discover what war meant to us as New Zealanders, the changes it wrought, how it shaped our nation, but most importantly, to allow us to remember those who were lost.
