Bristol Old Vic and Scamp presents the award-winning

Private Peaceful

By Michael Morpurgo

Adapted and directed by Simon Reade

The inspiring First World War story by former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo.

Private Tommo Peaceful awaits the firing squad at dawn. During the night he looks back on his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon - and the battles and injustices of war that have brought him to the front line.

'A searing piece of theatre - as moving as the poetry of Wilfred Owen and as painfully memorable as white-hot shrapnel' Sunday Herald *****

'The horrors of war and the joyfulness of life are bound up together in this magnificent show' The Scotsman *****

'Heart-breaking clarity and simplicity. This is one hour of your own life you will never forget' Daily Mail
