Play description
“Adapted from the diaries of Captain Alexander Stewart… This new solo drama interweaves the First World War diaries of Captain Alexander Stewart with the contemporary perspective of his grandson, the actor Cameron Stewart (Best Actor nominee – MEN Awards). This is an undeniably powerful account comparing the very different lives led by young men from generations at opposite ends of the twentieth century. The diaries, as heard on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, are published as ‘A Very Unimportant Officer’.”
