Friday-Saturday, Oct. 18-19—WOODSTOCK—The YOH Theatre Players will perform Robert Caisley’s “Front” at Woodstock Union High School on Friday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. The play, set in England during the Blitz, dives into the struggles of individuals and families as they navigate the horrors of war. Tickets on sale for $5-$10.

“Front” is a powerful drama that confronts tragedy head-on without the usual reflective solemnity. Caisley’s work is known for its raw, honest approach, and this production follows that tradition. The play features moments of heartbreak and fast-paced action, along with its unique entrances into death and the afterlife.

The production presents an emotionally charged narrative containing mature content related to sexuality, suicide, and death and includes strong language. It explores the deep emotional scars of war, particularly how ordinary individuals grapple with the trauma and loss it brings.
