Private Peaceful (One actor version)
by Michael Morpurgo, Simon Reade
Synopsis
“I’ve had nearly eighteen years of yesterdays and tomorrows,and tonight I must remember as many of them as I can
Tonight, more than any other night of my life, I want to feel alive!” Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn.
During the night, he looks back at his short but joyful past growing up in rural Devon: his exciting first days at school; the accident in the forest that killed his father; his adventures with Molly, the love of his life; and the battles and injustices of war that brought him to the front line.
