Inspired Theatre Operation Market Garden
Theatre
12+
A powerful new piece of verbatim theatre, inspired by the wartime diary of Welsh paratrooper Neville Neads, captured during the 1944 operation of the same name. Offering a raw, personal perspective on war, identity and survival as a prisoner of war, the show centres the real testimony of the often-overlooked foot soldier. This is a story of resilience and remembrance, told from the ground up. Drawn directly from Neads’ own diary and letters to his fiancée, the production traces his experience and that of his comrades during almost a year in captivity.
