The Hundred Years’ War

Following on from their highly acclaimed live literature production 'Being Human', Midlands Creative Projects in association with Bloodaxe Books and the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry presents 'The Hundred Years' War: The Somme to Afghanistan'.

Three performers, live music and striking imagery are combined to create a heart-wrenching drama whose every word is charged with poetry. 'The Hundred Years' War' offers stories of war from around the world, all written over the last hundred years (1914 to 2013) by poets writing as aggressor and victim, soldier and civilian, the wounded and those watching on in horror.

Featuring thirty-five extraordinary poems from Bloodaxe Book's anthology 'The Hundred Years' War', this brand new production fuses poetry and theatre to create a distinctive and deeply moving portrayal of life under fire.
