John Nichol, a former RAF Tornado Navigator and Gulf War POW, embarks on a poignant journey to uncover the emotional tale of the Unknown Warrior interred in Westminster Abbey, emphasising our enduring need to honour and mourn the fallen.
The theatre tour promises a remarkable, fascinating, and deeply moving experience, especially for fans of 20th-century and military history. John Nichol will guide audiences through an emotional and personal journey, retracing the Unknown Warrior’s path from the battlefields of Northern France to Westminster Abbey, where he was laid to rest ‘Among the Kings’.
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?
“It is rare to find a tale so strange, intimate and human yet at the same time so enormous, so global in its importance. Yet again John Nichol impresses us with his ability to weave together the little details and the grand narrative.”Dan Snow, Historian
