The Story of the Young Soldier-Poet
Compiled and performed by Peter Barkworth
Through the medium of Sassoon's own prose and poetry, Peter Barkworth 's tourde-force one-man show moves through the early life of the soldier-poet, from his childhood in Kent, through adolescence to Cambridge, and thence to his 'grim and glad' experiences in the First World War - the idyll followed by the horror.
