Simon Waterfield's THE KILTED TOMMY Heads to Brighton Fringe Tonight
WW1 comes to Brighton! Meet Harry Kay, the grandfather of the writer/performer. Find out what he did in the war, why he did it, what it meant to him and how it affected him. Find out why thousands of Englishmen fought in kilts in the war, and what this somewhat unusual battledress (to Englishmen anyway!) meant to them. With a little help from Shakespeare and Rupert Brooke the story is presented with humour and compassion.
