The Tricycle Theatre back T4T

The Tricycle Theatre have donated tickets for their current production, 'The Great Game', an educational series of 12 short plays about the culture and history of Afghanistan. "The Great Game" was a term used for the strategic rivalry and conflict between the British Empire and the Russian Empire for supremacy in Central Asia - running approximately from the Russo-Persian Treaty of 1813 to the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907.

The play was recently reviewed in The Times by the incoming Chief of Defence Staff Sir David Richards who championed its value for members of the Armed Forces as well as the general public saying: 'Nothing learnt in the classroom will have had the same subliminal effects as this. It is crucial that all of us who work out there have a more nuanced understanding of the historical background that got us to this point.'

Tickets For Troops Chairman, Lord Marland said: "Tickets For Troops has benefited from a great wave of generosity from our ticket donors who have wanted to demonstrate their support and show their appreciation for the dedication and commitment of the marvellous men and women of our Armed Forces. I would like to thank The Tricycle Theatre for their kind and fantastic support in establishing this relationship".
