This November, join award-winning storyteller Anna Conomos-Wedlock for an unforgettable journey to the Greek island of Lemnos, once a lifeline for wounded soldiers during the Gallipoli campaign. Blending dramatic storytelling with evocative music and song, A Worn Out Pair of Shoes reveals a hidden chapter of WWI through the eyes of those who lived it—nurses, soldiers, and civilians caught in one of WWI’s most grueling campaigns.At its heart lies a powerful tale of an unexpected friendship between a Greek village girl and an Allied soldier—a bond that transcends language, borders and a relationship that will change both their lives forever.
Drawn from Anna’s research and interviews on Lemnos, this moving truestory explores the human cost of conflict, the healing power of connection, and the enduring power of memory.
For audiences of all ages. With live music and song. www.performancestoryteller.com
