Content warning [May contain spoilers]
Based on the real-life experiences of a Welsh paratrooper during Operation Market Garden, this powerful play sheds light on a narrative not often considered in war stories. Through the eyes of a soldier taken prisoner during WWII, we follow his harrowing journey of endurance and survival, spending over 90 days in captivity. The story highlights the resilience and quiet courage of those whose experiences are often overlooked, offering a personal and thought-provoking portrayal of the human cost of conflict. With authentic performances, this production invites audiences to reflect on the strength found in the most unlikely places and the untold stories of war. A tale of loss, hope, and redemption—this is a journey you won’t forget.
This production is suitable for ages 12 and over.
