"Guten Tag meine Herren und Frauen von Deutschland. We have travelled here from London, England. You may have heard of it."
On the morning of 17 April 1936, a group of 27 schoolboys, led by their teacher and newly arrived in Nazi Germany, set out on the first of a seven-day walking tour of the Black Forest.
By 8pm that evening, local villagers were searching for them in a blizzard.
"You did say you wanted to take the scenic route."
Inspired by true events, this new play by Pamela Carter is a story of (mis)adventure and blind optimism, nationhood, and courage in the face of disaster.
