In Michael Morpurgo's moving tale of youth cut short, seventeen-year-old Tommo Peaceful relives his innocent rural past as he spends his last night in the trenches of World War One. Simon Reade's hugely successful adaptation has been touring the UK and across the globe since 2004.
Editorial Review
'Pitched to perfection for a young audience - The glory of Morpurgo is that [he reconnects] us with our past. He simply opens our hearts to feeling.' Daily Telegraph 'A haunting indictment of war's stupidity and waste' The Times 'The sheer restrained power of Morpurgo's writing keeps you gripped.' Guardian ' - a balanced, considered, well-structured piece of theatre, impeccably performed and beautifully committed.'Five stars - The Public Reviews ' - a truly special piece of theatre, and from the standing ovation at the end - it looks like I'm not alone in my thinking.' Broadway World
