    Operation Market Garden
    By Izzy Lane

    22:00, Tue 11th – Sat 15th November 2025 at Corpus Playroom
    Michaelmas Week 5

    Operation Market Garden is a powerful new piece of verbatim theatre, inspired by the wartime diary of a Welsh paratrooper captured during the 1944 operation of the same name. Blending real testimony with dramatic interpretation, the show centres the often-overlooked voice of a footsoldier—offering a raw, personal perspective on war, identity, and survival as a prisoner of war. This is a story of resilience and remembrance, told from the ground up.
