Antonia Matthew lived through air raids, blackouts, rationing, and the absence of her father when she was a small child during World War II. Her father, a major in the British army stationed in Burma, regularly wrote her letters until he was killed in action. She has written an audio play, “Antonia’s Home Front,” based on those letters and her experiences during the war. The play will premiere in the United States on WFHB’s Firehouse Theater, Sunday, October 9, 2022, at 8:00pm EDT.
