Lovehistory

A Dream Of Wilfred Owen - the soldiers’ poet - is told from the perspective of Owen's ghost, who takes the audience on a journey back to the time of World War One.

The story follows real and imagined events in Owen's life, from growing up in Birkenhead where his father, Tom, was master of the busy Woodside railway station, to his own war experiences in the trenches.

As a prelude to the play, there is a reading of other poems by Wilfred Owen. Several popular songs of the day are included in the play along with actors from theatre company LoveHistory.
