Private Peaceful is Michael Morpurgo’s classic rites of passage story of two brothers and the exuberance and pain of their teenage love for the same girl, the pressures of their feudal family life, the horrors and folly of war and the ultimate price of courage and cowardice.


It is a gritty and realistic tale reminiscent of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, set in the fields of Devon and the WW1 battlefields of Flanders, giving us a heartbreaking glimpse of the way we once lived – and still die.

 

Private Peaceful will be made into a major feature film by Fluidity Films this autumn, directed by Pat O’Connor and starring Jack O’Connell, George Mackay and Alexander Roach, Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour.
