The event features a poignant stage adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's celebrated novel, Private Peaceful. The production centres on Tommo Peaceful as he looks back on his life, the close-knit bonds that shaped it, and the tragic events leading up to a critical battle. This powerful narrative, filled with familial warmth, first love, and sibling affection, comes vividly alive through live theatre.

The performance is a stage adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's novel of the same name. 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 during the First World War.

The event takes place at the Curve Theatre in Leicester on 17 November 2026. Please check the venue's website for further information on ticket prices and availability.
