"The heart-wrenching true story of Morpurgo’s uncle"
World War II brought immense tragedy and division, but what happens when that division strikes within a family? Brothers Francis and Pieter face a bitter disagreement. In the aftermath of one devastating war, with another on the horizon, tensions run high.
Francis, a committed pacifist, fights for peace and a future without violence. Pieter, however, believes peace can only be secured by taking up arms. The fateful event that follows will alter Francis' life forever. In the Mouth of the Wolf is a deeply moving story based on Sir Michael Morpurgo’s uncles, beautifully adapted by Simon Reade with profound sensitivity and theatrical brilliance.
A story that will linger in your heart and mind.
