Regeneration is a shocking, energetic, feast of a play based on the true story of Craiglockhart War Hospital and the courageous dissidents, vibrant poets, and patriotic gay lovers who walked its wards.
The Great War rages in Europe and Lieutenant Siegfried Sassoon is hospitalised against his will with shell-shock. He denies being ill but Dr Rivers soon discovers he is a haunted man. Slipping into solitude, Sassoon takes comfort in the lively company of the handsome officer Wilfred Owen, but mentorship soon sparks something more between the closeted young poets.
