Anthem for Doomed Youth

from the poems of Wilfred Owen
Loft Theatre Company, February 1993
Director: David Fletcher

This staged studio piece was part of a themed season of productions commemorating the First World War. Waiting to head off to the front are raw conscripts Gus MacDonald, Tim Meacock and me.

Tim looking doomed and youthful; me looking at Tim.

Gus, me (with bald patch) and Tim catching forty winks before being sent out to die in a hail of bullets.

The cast in a mock-Edwardian ‘family portrait’. Clockwise from top left: Tim Meacock, Gus MacDonald, me, Anne Wood, Susan Ashmore, Jacqui Coghlan.
