A double-bill of monologues from the frontline of 20th Century wartime.
Unicorns, Almost
Written by Owen Sheers
Directed by Jack Vardy
24-year-old World War II soldier Keith Douglas uses his poems to remind us of the horrors of war and what it steals from us. A true story, we learn of his early childhood to his fighting in the Western desert as a tank commander; his accelerated education as a poet, and his experiences in the Normandy D-Day landings
Private Peaceful
Written by Michael Morpurgo
Adapted by Simon Reade
Directed by Alan Levesley
Based on the acclaimed novel this solo play recounts the last hours in the life of a young British private in WWI who is about to be executed. All Peaceful had wanted was to carry his wounded brother to safety in No Man's Land. Now found guilty of cowardice, he recalls how life led him there and the idyllic childhood he left behind.
