This is not a play about politics, it’s about people.
In the morning I woke up. The war had begun.
What happens when ordinary lives are split into before and after?
Drawn from real voices in Ukraine and the English city of Lichfield, What A Difference A Day Makes is a powerful verbatim theatre piece that traces the shockwaves of war far beyond the battlefield. In classrooms, kitchens, churches and living rooms, young people, parents, teachers and hosts speak with disarming honesty about fear, kindness, displacement and the fragile idea of home.
Performances will take place at Lichfield Cathedral on September 22 and 23.
These are being sponsored by Cura Psychology. Click here for more details
Cura Psychology is proud to be a sponsor for an exciting new play by acclaimed playwright Mark Wheeler, performed for the first time in the stunning venue of Lichfield Cathedral.
Telling the true stories of Ukrainian refugees arriving in Lichfield, What A Difference A Day Makes highlights the voices of young people, parents, teachers and hosts after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Cura Psychology believes passionately in the role of the arts in mental health and creating a culture of welcome in our community.
This is not a play about politics, it’s about people. About the night before everything changed. About arriving in a country where you don’t know the language but are expected to rebuild a life. About strangers opening their doors, and discovering how compassion reshapes communities on both sides.
By turns heartbreaking, surprising and quietly uplifting, What A Difference A Day Makes asks urgent questions: How do we respond when history arrives on our doorstep? What does it really mean to belong? And can small acts of kindness stand up to overwhelming darkness?
A compelling, ensemble-driven piece that gives voice to lived experience, this play stays with you long after the final words are spoken.
