Stephen MacDonald - Not About Heroes

First World War Poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen meet for the first time in this dramatised account.

"This war is not about heroes... It's really about boys of 19 being shot in the throat and dying before they've had time to live - and to learn why. The people who throw away those lives for their own glory - or profit - or both. I think it's about the annihilation, the wanton destruction of everything we love."

Adapted from Siegfried Sassoon's work by Stephen MacDonald.

Starring Stephen MacDonald as Siegfried Sassoon and James Telfer as Wilfred Owen.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1983.
