THE LIVING UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Trailer for Simple8's upcoming production - The Living Unknown Soldier.
12 Feb - 15 March 2008 Arcola Theatre.

France, 1918. The Great War has ended. Thousands are missing. Relatives are desperately seeking their loved ones as men return from the front. A soldier is found wandering a station platform. With no knowledge of his identity, or the country he has been defending, he is diagnosed with amnesia, committed to an asylum and given the name 'Mangin'. Saved from death but exiled from life he faces a no-man's land once more.

As news spreads across the country, families flock to him in search of the fathers, brothers, husbands and sons who may never come home. This one man becomes a symbol for a generation ripped apart by war - a living unknown soldier.

This poignant production is a timely reminder of the fallout from war, questioning our moral responsibility towards returning servicemen, and exploring the fragile frontier between imagination and memory,
