★★★★★ "a masterpiece of
storytelling... a truly magnificent piece of theatre." Broadway Baby
We are thrilled to
welcome In Loyal Company, a powerful one-man show hot off the Edinburgh Festival
Fringe, where it won five-star reviews, on Wednesday 17th October 2018 at 7pm.
Performer and co-writer David William Bryan tells the true story of his great uncle Arthur – known as Joe –
who never thought of going to war until the Liverpool bombing raids of WWII. He
joins up and is sent to Singapore, only to go missing when his ship shinks and
ending up in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.
Pieced together by Bryan
and his co-writer from family history and documentary research, Joe's story is
touching, humbling and at times viscerally exciting, whilst Bryan's acclaimed
performance is all the more heartfelt for his flesh-and-blood connection with
the hero.
Watch this for audience
