THE ROTUNDA THEATRE

Ross Ericson, returns with his Sell-Out and critically acclaimed show for one last time, in the centenary year of the return of the Unknown Warrior to Westminster Abbey.

 

Jack stayed on when the guns fell silent, to search the battlefields for the boys that could not go home - for the dead and the missing, for both enemy and friend.  And amongst the rusty wire and unexploded bombs Jack is looking for something – looking for someone. He has a promise to keep and debt to repay, and now there is this strange request from the generals.

 

A story of comradeship, betrayal and of promises both broken and kept following the carnage of World War One.
