After a quiet day recovering form the last few days, we are just home from the Hall for Cornwall where we saw Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. Some words from the theatre blurb –
“Benjamin Cain, rising star and recent graduate from the BA Professional Acting course at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, will make his professional debut in this acclaimed one-person tour de force as Tommo Peaceful. Adapted and directed from Michael Morpurgo‘s novel by Simon Reade, the production sees a single actor conjure an entire world of characters, landscapes, and emotions. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, Private Peaceful is both a moving family drama and a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.”
The young Benjamin Cain is an incredible actor. This is his first professional performance and he fully deserved the standing ovation at the end of the one act play. It’s on for one more night in Truro. If you are local, don’t miss it. There are tickets left.
