In 2015 Prof Alison Fell (University of Leeds) embarked on a new AHRC-funded research project, supported by Gateways to the First World War, focusing on Sister Edie Appleton’s war diaries. Alongside Prof Christine Hallett (University of Manchester), Alison is helping to develop a new play based on the diaries. The collaboration is with Sara Robinson - a freelance theatre producer, and Edie's great-great-niece – a writer, director, and designer, the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, the National Archives and other partners.
