Not About Heroes

Crossfade Productions presents the emotionally powerful play Not About Heroes, the extraordinary story of the remarkable friendship forged between England’s great war poets Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Set in the Craiglockhart War Hospital in 1917, where both men were staying as patients, Not About Heroes explores the relationship between the men and their poetry and, through the use of letters home and to each other, tells the story of how they were both changed forever through their unique connection. This is an inspirational, often funny and uplifting play which has won awards internationally and was, last year, presented at the Sydney Opera House to much acclaim.
