Description

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. Winner of the Blue Peter Book of the Year; Private Peaceful is by the third Childrens Laureate; Michael Morpurgo; award-winning author of War Horse. His inspiration came from a visit to Ypres where he was shocked to discover how many young soldiers were court-martialled and shot for cowardice during the First World War.This edition also includes introductory essays by Michael Morpurgo; Associate Director of Private Peaceful Mark Leipacher; as well as an essay from Simon Reade; adaptor director of this stage adaptation of Private Peaceful.
