On the eve of battle, First World War soldier Private Tommo Peaceful recalls his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon - his schooldays, his father, the deep bond with his brother, and the innocence of first love...
A short play that packs a real punch - and is perfectly pitched for the young audience at which it’s aimed - Private Peaceful is based on the same-named novel by War Horse author Michael Morpurgo.
“The question I’m asking myself at the heart of my books about war is ‘How would I have coped?’” Michael told the ipaper. “I hope I’d have coped well enough, but I have my doubts. Private Peaceful is written in huge admiration of generations who did what was expected of them.”
