Private Peaceful tells the story of Private Tommo Peaceful as he looks back on his Devon upbringing and childhood romance with Molly, and the terrible events that saw him travel from this idyllic setting into the depths of war.
BoxLess Theatre’s two-hander of this stage production first opened as part of Barn Theatre’s outdoor theatre festival in August 2020, before transferring to the play’s original home – Bristol Old Vic. The play stars Emily Costello and James Demaine.
