Private Peaceful relives the life of Private Tommo Peaceful, a
young First World War soldier awaiting the firing squad at dawn.
During the night he looks back at his short but joyful past growing
up in rural Devon: his exciting first days at school; the accident
in the forest that killed his father; his adventures with Molly,
the love of his life; and the battles and injustices of war that
brought him to the front line. Winner of the Blue Peter Book of the
Year, Private Peaceful is by the third Children's Laureate, Michael
Morpurgo, award-winning author of War Horse. His inspiration came
from a visit to Ypres where he was shocked to discover how many
young soldiers were court-martialled and shot for cowardice during
the First World War. This edition also includes introductory essays
by Michael Morpurgo, Associate Director of Private Peaceful
production Mark Leipacher, as well as an essay from Simon Reade,
adaptor & director of this stage adaptation of Private
Peaceful.
