A compilation of dramatic readings from texts related to the First World War (1914~1918), commemorating its 100 year anniversary, read by military veterans and actors from stage and screen.

Through a wide range of voices — some familiar, some forgotten, and some quite surprising — the piece not only tells the story of “The Great War”, but reveals how its political and cultural impacts continue to ripple through our world today.

  • Directed by actor Arliss Howard (Full Metal Jacket, Moneyball, The Time Traveler's Wife)

  • Remarks by Phil Klay, author of Redeployment

  • Featuring the words of C.S. Lewis, Rudyard Kipling, Alan Seeger, Joyce Kilmer, Ho Chi Minh, T.E. Lawrence, Erich Maria Remarque, Guilliame Apollinaire, Victor Hugo, Edith Wharton and others

  • With performances by Matt Burda, Michael Castelblanco, Marco Reininger, Ed Walsh, Caleb Wells, Neath Williams and others to be announced
