Matthew Lewis will be a guest on The Art Show with Claudia Winkleman this Friday, September 21st. Ha and his Our Boys co-star Arthur Darvill will be talking about the play with Claudia at 10pm. We will post the interview here as soon as it’s available.
Our Boys begins previews next week at the Duchess Theatre and will be there for a limited 12-week season from 26 September. Matthew plays Gunner Michael Speedy aka “Mick” in the play, which focuses on the lives of injured soldiers. Tickets may be purchased at the Our Boys official site.
Five young soldiers are killing nothing but time as they recover from injuries incurred in the line of duty. Suddenly, their daily routine of TV, lonely hearts ads and banter is shattered by the arrival of a young officer. The camaraderie of this unlikely band of brothers is soon jeopardised by a dangerous incident and an act of betrayal.
With charges of misconduct looming, accusations fly – and the fighting really starts. Fired by anger at the neglect of our wounded heroes, OUR BOYS remains as relevant now as was in 1993, when it won a Best New Play award. This first West End production comes from the creative team behind international hit Journey’s End.
