Yorkshire, 1914

William and Albert Harrison stand at a crossroads that will define their lives and the fate of their family’s legacy. It’s 1914, and as the shadow of World War I looms over their humble farm, they must make an impossible choice: who will stay to tend the land, and who will leave to fight for king and country? This decision, born of love, duty, and sacrifice, sets the stage for “Harvest,” a multi-generational epic that spans nearly a century of the Harrisons’ struggles, triumphs, and unwavering dedication to their way of life.

Across five masterfully crafted scenes, each a snapshot of a different decade, the Harrisons – joined by William’s fiercely loyal daughter Laura and the unforgettable, eccentric pigman Titch – navigate the turbulent tides of the 20th century. From the haunting aftermath of two World Wars to the relentless march of progress that threatens to swallow their cherished traditions, the Harrisons face every challenge with resilience, humor, and an unbreakable bond of family loyalty. As the play reaches its darkly comic and emotionally charged conclusion in 2008, with the once-thriving farm in disrepair and the family legacy hanging by a threadbare string, “Harvest” delivers a profound and poignant commentary on the changing face of British agriculture, the unyielding spirit of rural life, and the enduring power of love and sacrifice in the face of impossible odds.
