No Man's Land

A dramatic reading from a new anthology of WW1 prose.

The Great War gave birth to some of the twentieth century's most celebrated writing; from Brooke to Sassoon, the poetry generated by the war is etched into collective memory.

But it is in prose fiction that we find some of the most profound insights into the war's individual and communal tragedies, the horror of life in the trenches and the grand farce of the first industrial war.

The extraordinary new anthology No Man's Land, featuring remarkable unheard voices from around the world, has now been edited into a dramatic one-hour reading for four actors, directed by novelist and director Neil Bartlett.

'Trailblazing ... even avid readers of First World War prose will find eye-opening discoveries here' (Boyd Tonkin, The Independent).
