Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo - Hall For Cornwall
After captivating audiences worldwide, Private Peaceful returns to the stage with fresh energy and timeless power.
From Michael Morpurgo, beloved author of War Horse, comes the unforgettable story of Tommo Peaceful. On the eve of battle, Tommo looks back over the events that shaped his life: the warmth of family, the innocence of first love, and the deep bond with his brother that carries him through the horrors of war.
In this acclaimed one-person tour de force, adapted and directed by Simon Reade, a single actor conjures an entire world of characters, landscapes, and emotions. At once heartwarming and heartbreaking, Private Peaceful is both a moving family drama and a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
Making his professional debut, rising star Benjamin Cain – a recent graduate of the BA Professional Acting course at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School – takes on the demanding solo role of Tommo Peaceful, bringing a compelling performance to this celebrated production.
Lauded across the globe as an international smash hit, this production now embarks on a bold new chapter, coming to the Cornwall Playhouse in 2026.
Age recommendation: 9+. Content Warning – gunfire/gunshot sounds, loud banging noises, explosions, war footage, combat scenes, depictions of armed conflict, themes of death and war, flashes of light, non-graphic violence (intense, but not explicit).
Running time: 1 hour 20 minutes, no interval
