A play about the extraordinary life of Great War poet Wilfred Owen will be performed next month at St. George’s Hall, Liverpool. A Dream Of Wilfred Owen by David Charters will be staged in the Concert Room of the iconic landmark building on Friday, 17 October, starting at 7.30pm.

Known as the soldiers’ poet, the story will be told from the perspective of Wilfred’s ghost who will take the audience on a journey back to the time of World War One. The story follows real and imagined events in Owen’s life, from growing up in Birkenhead where his father, Tom, was master of the busy Woodside railway station, to his own war experiences in the trenches.
