A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Drama / 1w, 2m
By Michael MorpurgoAdapted by Simon Reade
As the Second World War looms before them, two brothers clash. Francis is a dedicated pacifist, committed to peace and determined not to go backwards to a violent world. Pieter believes that peace can only be achieved by signing up to fight. The next event will change Francis’ life forever.
