Production Description

Stephen MacDonald’s beautifully written play chronicles the unique friendship that developed between First World War poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, from their first meeting in 1917 at Craiglockhart War hospital, where both were being treated for ‘war neurosis’, to their final meeting in August 1918, shortly before Owen’s return to active duty.

Told through Sassoon’s memories of Owen, his poetry and the conflict that brought them together, Not About Heroes is both exhilarating and uncompromising in its exploration of love, war and a friendship that changed the face of British poetry.

This archive recording of Blackeyed Theatre’s widely-acclaimed 2014 production, released online for the very first time, is directed by Eliot Giuralarocca with music composed by Tom Neill, innovative design by award-winning Victoria Spearing and two incredibly powerful central performances.

The role of Siegfried Sassoon is played by James Howard, currently appearing as Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Palace Theatre) and whose other theatre work includes Brave New World (Royal & Derngate), Romeo & Juliet and As You Like It (RSC) and Twelfth Night and Ivanov (Donmar Warehouse). The role of Wilfred Owen is played by Ben Ashton, whose theatre credits include Romeo & Juliet (RSC), The Miser (Watermill Theatre) and King Lear (Guildford Shakespeare Company).
