What did the men who wrote Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh make of the Great War?

Fresh from their celebrated performances at the Somme centenary, Threadbare Theatre Company presents three plays written during the First World War in a Music-Hall style evening of laughter, singing, and reflection, including The New Word (1915) by J. M. Barrie and The Boy Comes Home (1918) by A. A. Milne. These plays provide a fascinating insight into the experience of war both for the men at the front and for those left at home. Although written 100 years ago, the issues of masculinity, generational difference, loss and fear, hope, pride and identity are as as relevant today as ever.

Experiences of War is an event hosted by the Popular and Comic Performance Resaerch Centre at the University of Kent.
