Not about Heroes
To mark the centenary of Wilfred Owen 's birth, another chance to hear
Stephen MacDonald 's play exploring his friendship with Siegfried Sassoon. With James Telfer as Owen, and Stephen MacDonald as Sassoon. "This war is not about heroes. It's really about boys of 19 being shot in the throat and dying before they've had time to live and to learn why. The people who throw away those lives for their own glory - or profit - or both. I think it's about the annihilation, the wanton destruction of everything we love."
Director Stewart Conn
