All about the Boys

- The Last Days of Wilfred Owen

Om All about the Boys

This is a play about the last days of the WWI poet Wilfred Owen. A lot is known about the poets life, including all his letters that were kept and subsequently published along with all his poems. However, only very few of the poems were published in his lifetime, and it is not known how his soldiers, who he wrote the poems about, would have viewed them. Additionally, it is not known exactly how he met his end, only that he was killed on the banks of the Sambre Canal at Ors trying to secure the crossing. The play aims to fill those gaps in our knowledge through drama, as well as interpreting some of the poems in the light of what we now know about Owen, his place in literature, and the overall war.
