About This Event

Set in Yorkshire, 1643, When We Were Divided is the story of how three people’s lives are transformed by conflict.

Three women’s lives are woven together – and transformed – when the English Civil War comes to the puritanical Yorkshire clothing towns. While tested to their limits, each finds that war brings a chance to break free of the narrow paths laid out for them. Estranged sisters will hold the life of the other in their hands: will they reconcile or destroy each other entirely?
