Private Peaceful runs Tuesday 5 – Saturday 9 April. Set against the epic backdrop of WW1, we join 18- year-old Private Tommo Peace in the trenches as he takes us on a journey through his most cherished memories and tells his story of courage, devotion, family, and friendship. Award-winning Private Peaceful was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, won the Red House Children’s Book Award and the Blue Peter Book Award.
Acknowledged by Michael Morpurgo (War Horse, The Butterfly Lion) as his favourite work, this thrilling new ensemble retelling by Simon Reade, directed by Elle While, explores the lengths a young soldier will go to, to fight for what is right.
