WWI play comes to Guildhall
The much anticipated new play from nominated writer Ross Ericson is now on a national tour and the play text has been published by Bloomsbury, available at all major bookstores and venues.
The Unknown Soldier is a thought provoking, moving, and even humorous solo piece that looks at the First World War from a new perspective, through the eyes of a man who has survived the carnage but remains, like many, to help build the great cemeteries.

Hide AdThe Unknown Soldier is a story of the deep friendship that can only be found between those who fight together, of the betrayal felt by them at the end of the war, and of a world that has changed so much it has become unrecognisable.
Ericson uses his military experience and family stories to give this piece a truly authentic voice and, as he is performing it himself, it feels like a very real and very personal piece.
It is as gritty and as moving as his play Casualties, for which he was nominated for an Off West End Award, and shows a writer true to his form.
The show starts at 7.30pm and runs for 70 minutes with no interval.
Tickets are £12/£9 concessions.
