After captivating audiences worldwide, Private Peaceful  returns to the stage with fresh energy and timeless power. 

From Michael Morpurgo - beloved 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. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, Private Peaceful is both a moving family drama and a powerful reminder of the human cost of war. 

Making his professional debut, rising star Benjamin Cain - a recent graduate of the BA Professional Acting course at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School - takes on the demanding solo role of Tommo Peaceful, bringing a compelling performance to this celebrated production.
