Riassunto

Nicholas Wright, the Olivier Award-winning playwright of Vincent in Brixton andHis Dark Materials, pens this new stage adaptation of Pat Barker's Booker Prize-nominated novel about World War One and poets Sigfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. A powerful anthem that offers a compassionate look at war and its devastating effects.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

A superb stage version of Pat Barker's award-winning First World War novel... the material - presented through the physical immediacy of theatre - seems to get through to your neurological (as well as emotional, psychological and intellectual) depths... Gutting and unmissable. --Independent

Wright is a writer who specialises in translating real-life characters into truthfully embodied theatrical ones... A powerful stage version of Pat Barker's First World War novel. --The Stage

Nicholas Wright's deeply moving play stays true to Barker's vision while highlighting its own chosen themes of companionship, guilt and inequality... This humane and enriching play raises endless questions about the impact of war on individuals.... Superb. --Guardian
