Not About Heroes

 

by Stephen Macdonald

 

directed by Alex Epps

 

This extraordinary and powerfully moving work charts, in retrospect, the relationship between the young Wilfred Owen and his mentor, Siegfried Sassoon. Convalescing from both the physical and emotional injuries sustained whilst fighting in the First World War trenches, the two poets create a bond fostered by a shared wit and a love of words.
