John Nichol will be bringing his new show, The Unknown Warrior to The Courtyard on Thursday 17 October at 7.30pm.
There is a concessionary ticket price which is available to military personnel.
The story of The Unknown Warrior will be vividly portrayed with haunting visuals and an evocative soundscape, transporting audiences back to a time of intense public sorrow and reflection, capturing the fervour of generations past. But how did this plan come to fruition? Who was this ‘unknown’ man? How was he selected, and from where? What were the logistical challenges of repatriating a single body while preserving its anonymity? To shed light on this century-old story, John retraces the Unknown Warrior’s journey home through discussions with relatives of those involved, research from long-forgotten archives, and insights from modern experts. By speaking with those who have recently lost loved ones in more contemporary conflicts, he reflects on our ongoing need for a tangible place of rest to truly mourn the fallen. As Remembrance Sunday approaches, he examines how individuals and nations have commemorated the sacrifices of the dead throughout history.
