About The Reading

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo

Directed by Guy Fauchon. Starring Anthony Goncharov

Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo. Originally a book Private Peaceful was adapted into a one person play by Simon Reade. It tells the story of young Thomas Peaceful, a soldier who looks back over his childhood from the battlefields of the First World War, his memories are full of family life deep in the countryside. But the clock is ticking, and every moment that Tommo spends remembering how things used to be, means another moment closer to something that will change his life forever.

Playing the role of Tommo is Anthony Goncharov. Peninsula audiences will remember him from his role in their hit show Sea of Stories where Anthony played a young boy struggling to fit into his new home in White Rock. Private Peaceful will be directed by another Peninsula favourite, Guy Fauchon. Guy has directed many of Peninsula’s staged readings and they are delighted that he will be back for Private Peaceful.
