After captivating audiences worldwide, Private Peaceful visits the stage of Exeter’s Northcott Theatre next month.

From Michael Morpurgo — author of War Horse — comes the unforgettable story of Tommo Peaceful. On the eve of battle, Tommo looks back over the events that shaped his life: the warmth of family, the innocence of first love, and the deep bond with his brother that carries him through the horrors of war.

In this acclaimed one-person tour de force, adapted and directed by Simon Reade, a single actor conjures an entire world of characters, landscapes, and emotions. Both heart-warming and heart-breaking, Private Peaceful is a moving family drama and a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.

The production plays at the Northcott on September 9 and 10. For timings and tickets see https://exeternorthcott.co.uk.
