ANTHEM FOR A DOOMED YOUTH
THE COLLECTOR
In commemoration of the Great War Edinburgh "Fringe Legend", Guy Masterson, recites the finest WWI writings from both sides of No-Man's Land. From Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon to Remarque's "All Quiet On The Western Front" life in the trenches is brought vividly to life. A powerfully evocative experience.
A satirical ghost story set during the U.S. occupation of Iraq... After taking over Saddam Hussein's most brutal prison camp, the Allied guards become possessed by its evil. A haunting premiere. Multi-award winning Henry Naylor was a lead writer on Spitting Image, and half of Parsons and Naylor.
