Craiglockhart, Scotland, 1917. In a hospital for shell-shocked officers, a brilliant doctor provides the cures required to send his patients back to War. Under his tolerant reign, two young officers form a passionate comradeship. Each is a poet, one unknown, the other privileged and successful. Mentored by the older man, the younger falls in love; his genius flowers and he becomes the greater writer. But as his health is restored, he must face a return to battle.

Nicholas Wright’s deeply moving play stays true to Barker’s vision while highlighting its own chosen themes of companionship, guilt and inequality Michael Billington, Guardian
I was raptly absorbed throughout by this superb stage version of Pat Barker’s award-winning First World War novel…gutting and unmissable Paul Taylor, The Independent
