About the show
1914. The Great War rages. Britain recruits 30,000 Bantams, men between five-foot and five-foot-three to fight in some of the bloodiest battles of the war. 1918. A group of reporters visit the Front to write about the Bantams. One Bantam remains, Patrick Michael Wolfe, a Dubliner who signed up to secure Home Rule for Ireland. This is his story. A story about patriotism, prejudice, courage and betrayal. Inspired by real events. 'A perfect example of the great Irish storyteller' ***** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). 'Excellent' ***** (UKTW.co.uk). 'Giant of a show' ***** (Derek Awards).
