About the event
Set in a mental hospital in Scotland during the early 1920s, the play centers on the life of Siegfried Sassoon, a renowned poet and decorated soldier who has been sent to the hospital for shell shock. The play delves into Sassoon's struggles with guilt, disillusionment, and the aftermath of war. Through his interactions with Dr. William Rivers, a pioneering psychiatrist, and other patients, Sassoon confronts the psychological scars left by the conflict and grapples with the meaning of his experiences.
Regeneration is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant piece that offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those who were deeply impacted by the First World War.
