Based on real events, it charts the heartbreaking journey of Joseph Byers (17), Private Harry Farr (25) and Lance-Sergeant Joseph Willie Stones (24) three of the three hundred and six British soldiers who were executed for cowardice, desertion and mutiny during World War I (1914-18).

With a contemporary score performed live by the Red Note Ensemble, the songs explore the vulnerability and devastation of the battlefields, alongside the inner struggles of the men. Poignant and powerful, The 306: Dawn will be performed in a transformed barn in the Perthshire countryside. Join them, as they explore the lives of these soldiers - who appear on no war memorials - and give them back their voices, stories and names. Age guide 14+
