About This Event

Private Peaceful will be staged at Curve Theatre in Leicester on 17 November 2026. This adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's novel explores the life of a young soldier reflecting on his experiences and the harsh realities of war. The story addresses themes of sacrifice and the historical context of soldiers executed during the First World War.

Private Peaceful is a novel for older children by British author Michael Morpurgo first published in 2003. It is about a fictional young soldier called Thomas "Tommo" Peaceful, who is looking back on his life so far and his going to war. The story focuses on the harsh realities of English rural life and warfare, and highlights the British Army's practice of executing its own soldiers during the First World War. Morpurgo was inspired to write the novel after learning about the around 300 British and Commonwealth soldiers who were shot for crimes like desertion and cowardice. The novel helped further the campaign to grant posthumous pardons to the men, which were agreed and implemented by the UK Government in 2006.
