Not About Heroes
To mark the 100th anniversary of the World War I Armistice, Hero Now Theatre presents "Not About Heroes," by Stephen MacDonald. It is a play about war, truth, and two artists' evolving self-awareness.
Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen were officers in the British army and have been called the best British poets of the "Great War." The play, based on letters and memoirs, imagines their meeting in a psychiatric hospital where one was admitted for shell shock, the other for speaking out against prolonging the conflict. As the older Sassoon nurtures Owen in his early years as a poet, their relationship deepens. Eventually, though, Owen decides he must return to combat. The reason will surprise.
Discussions with veteran-artists follow each show.
U.S. military veterans are admitted free, but tickets are required, as there is limited seating.
