A play marking the centenary of the First World War will be performed in Aberdeen on Sunday.
The production This Evil Thing tells the story of Britain’s conscientious objectors and has toured the UK and America.
The site has added significance because Dyce was the site of one of the British Government’s work camps for people who refused to fight because of their pacifism.
Playwright Michael Mears, who also performs the play, said: “The story of the First World War conscientious objectors is both compelling and inspiring. These were brave individuals who took a stand for peace. Their message is as important today as it was then.”
Local Quaker organiser Andrew Collins said: “In 1916, Dyce was the site of one of the Government’s work camps for conscientious objectors and the Dyce work camp is the setting for one of the scenes in the play.
“The performance in Dyce is a fitting way of ensuring those who took a stand for peace locally are not forgotten as we mark the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.”
All the parts in the play, some 52 characters, are acted by Michael Mears.
The performance is in Dyce Parish Church hall starts at 7pm.
Admission is free but donations are welcome.
Tickets are available from www.eventbrite.co.uk or on the door.
