My Grandfather's Great War

A solo drama interweaving material from the First World War diaries of Captain Alexander Stewart with the contemporary perspective of his grandson, the actor Cameron Stewart. 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 double Fringe First winner David Benson adapts and directs this production, which features many of the hallmarks that set Benson’s own solo work apart from the crowd, particularly with its auto-biographical aspect and the dark thread of comedy that emerges from the most unlikely of situations.

Running time: 75 minutes.
Recommended age: 12 and over.
