We were excited to learn about a new play starting on 2 September 2011 at Nottingham Playhouse. It’s called The Ashes and is about the infamous Larwood Bodyline affair of 1932. The play has been described as, ‘A dramatic tale of conflict between two countries, two classes and two men played out on the pitch and in the pavilion’.
As Sir Julien Cahn was the President of Nottingham County Cricket Club during that time, he was the official go-between and had to deliver the bad news to Harold Larwood. Cahn is a character in the play, being played by actor Damien Warren-Smith. I can’t wait to see the play especially as this will be the nearest I’ll get to seeing my grandfather being brought to life!!
