The Silence of the Sea by VERCORS dramatised by THOMAS EI. LICE
This classic story of the Second World War is set in 1940 when the Germans occupy France. Major von Ebrennae is billeted on an old man and his young niece and meets a wall of silent hostility Undeterred, he talks to them. 'I don't regret this war. Great things will come of it for Germany and France. One day the sun will shine again over Europe.' The silence continues.
