17/02/11: RARE INTERVIEW WITH JOHN GORMAN INCLUDED IN WELSH DAILY POST ARTICLE

Pictured left is a full-page article on Bullets And Daffodils from today’s Daily Post (Wales), publicising the show at the Chester Forum Theatre on Saturday 10 March (to buy tickets see the Tour Summary above). Click on the image for a PDF version of this article (opens in a new window or tab).

The article features a rare interview with director John Gorman. The picture of Wilfred Owen (Phil Gwilliam) is from Dean Sullivan’s production of the musical last year.

BULLETS AND DAFFODILS (THE WILFRED OWEN MUSICAL)
A MUSICAL DRAMA BASED ON THE LIFE AND WORKS OF WILFRED OWEN

This production has the full support of the Owen family and also exclusive permission by rock legend David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), to use a personal recording. Directed and adapted by Liverpool icon John Gorman (The Scaffold), it is a must-see event.

As the 100th Anniversary of the start of World War One approaches, Wilfred Owen's poetry remains a gigantic legacy. Myths of pacifism and hidden longings, which have left his personal life shrouded in mystery, and his undoubted courage, compassion and an instinct for razor sharp verse, combine to illustrate this musical tale of the handsome boy from the Shropshire hills and the backstreets of Birkenhead.

In this performance, Dean Johnson weaves narrative songs from Owen's greatest verses.
