Private Jones
Coming soon to London’s Southwark Playhouse
14 December 2026 - 30 January 2027
Inspired by the true story a deaf Welsh sniper in World War One, Private Jones uses live onstage sound foley and ensemble storytelling to tell the story of a deaf soldier from his perspective. The story follows young Gomer as he fakes his way through enlistment, training camp, and into a horrifying and unique war that’s made all that much more unique because he can’t hear what’s coming next.
