Britain's What's On Event Guide
Benediction
Benediction explores the turbulent and tragic life of the WW1 poet Siegfried Sassoon (younger Jack Lowden, older Peter Capaldi) who was a soldier as well as a writer. He was a complex man who survived the horrors of the trenches and was decorated for his bravery, but later became a vocal critic of the government’s continuation of the war. He was adored by members of the aristocracy and the London theatre world and embarked on a number of unsatisfactory affairs. He suffered the pain of being a gay man in an unforgiving culture and attempted to come to terms with his sexuality and his war time experiences in a quest for salvation through marriage and religion.
