It is Easy to be Dead
By Neil McPherson
Transferring from its critically acclaimed sell-out run at the Finborough Theatre where it was nominated for seven OffWestEnd Awards.
When twenty year old Charles Sorley is killed in action during the First World War, his devastated parents are left with only his letters and poems to remember him by. Using his extraordinary writings, together with music and songs of the period, It Is Easy To Be Dead is a tender portrait of a brief life filled with promise, cut short by the futility of war.

“A magnificent tribute to a fiery spirit.”
Michael Billington, The Guardian
“A superbly well-judged evening that conveys both the passion of youth and the pity of war.”
Aleks Sierz, Tribune
“A little gem. It will introduce a remarkable man to people who had not heard of him before…A poignant study of loss and the great waste of war.”
Daisy Bowie-Sell, WhatsOnStage
