NOT ABOUT HEROES by Stephen MacDonald
About The Event
| Arís is a non-profit theatre company based in Atlanta, GA - presenting plays from and about Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales. We wanted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day to remember, lest we forget, the terrible cost of war. We also wish to honor the legacy of the poets who found beauty and friendship in the midst of unspeakable ugliness and tragedy, and whose work still inspires us today. This moving play by Stephen MacDonald is based on the real-life friendship between noted World War I poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. Against the backdrop of the horrors of trench warfare, these two men forge a powerful bond which not only impacts them for the rest of their lives, but proves to be the catalyst for some of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching poetry to come out of the Great War. In addition to the play, we are presenting a staged reading of Somerset Maugham's comedy HOME AND BEAUTY on Tues Nov 6 and on Tues Nov 13, an evening of WWI music and poetry at Manuel's Tavern 602 North Highland Avenue NE, Atlanta, GA 30307. And on Sunday Nov 11 at 10:30am we will be participating in a Remembrance Day Service at Emory University's Cannon Chapel, followed by potluck luncheon before our matinee performance of NOT ABOUT HEROES at 7 Stages Theatre.
