Members only: Win a pair of free tickets to Rupert Brooke at York Theatre Royal

Two pairs of free tickets are available exclusively to Members of the Poetry Society for the performance of Rupert Brooke on Sunday 9 November at 2.30pm. Email membership AT poetrysociety.org.uk by 31 August and you’ll be entered into a prize draw. The two winning entrants will be contacted on Monday, 1 September.

Rupert Brooke is a one-man show marking the 90th anniversary of the First World War Armistice. Mark Payton's inspired and meticulous play is the story of the Brooke beyond the myth of a young, beautiful, fallen warrior. It is the story of a far more complex and radical man.

Following the legendary war poet from his time at Cambridge to his death in the Aegean Sea, Rupert Brooke reveals a man with a tumultuous personal life, a man not afraid to shock his audience, and a man vulnerably reaching to be 'forever England'.

Featuring some of Brooke’s poems, Rupert Brooke is essential viewing for anyone studying – or anxious to remember – the history and literature of our nation at war.

Performances: Sun 9 Nov, 2.30pm & 6.00pm; Mon 10 Nov, 2.00pm & 7.45pm

York Theatre Royal, St Leonard’s Place, York YO1 7HD
