Brochure Paragraph: A troubled veteran of recent conflict sets out to research World War 1, in the hope of soothing his own, personal conflict and dilemmas. Entertaining, poetic, acoustic musical theatre with complimentary video footage, as Falklands veteran, musician, songwriter and story-teller Darren John Poyzer delivers an up-close and personal, heart-warming comemorative alternative to all that Pomp and Ceremony.
Aged just 18, Darren was on the Royal Navy's front line during the Falklands Conflict of 1982. Now as he reaches his 50th year, he has written to deliver a genuinely unique, heartfelt and soul-searching WW1 Comemoration performance.
