A soundtrack can contain music written specifically for the film as well as pre-existing songs.

Program Essay for The Drawer Boy
The play The Drawer Boy by Michael Healey was inspired by the 1972 production The Farm Show, a landmark Canadian theatre experiment. The Farm Show used collective creation techniques where actors lived with farm families, gathering stories that were performed without traditional theatrical elements. The Drawer Boy tells the story of two aging farmers, Morgan and Angus, whose relationship is disrupted when a young actor, Miles, stays with them to research rural life for a play. Miles' presence forces the men to confront buried memories and reexamine their relationship and past. The play examines the differences between memory and reality, and bridges the rural and urban through the clash between the farmers and naive city actor.

Costume dramas have been an important genre in British cinema since the early 20th century, adapting works of Shakespeare and Dickens. In the 1930s, producers like Alexander Korda and Michael Balcon made lavish historical films. During World War II, some costume dramas took on propaganda roles while others provided escapism.
