Rupert Brooke is the moving story of the legendary war poet. It follows Brooke from his time at Cambridge University to his death in the Aegean Sea in 1915.
The play uncovers more of the real man, more of what lies beneath the myth of a young, beautiful, fallen warrior. It reveals a far more complex and radical man, a man with a tumultuous personal life and a man not afraid to shock his audience.
Featuring many of Brooke’s iconic poems, Rupert Brooke is the fascinating journey of a man who in his own words saw his life as 'a flash between darknesses'.
'For some 75 minutes we are held spellbound by the portrayal of the young poet.' Doncaster Free Press -- www.yorktheatreroyal.co.uk
