Drama - Private Peaceful Congratulations to Year 7 and Top Form on their powerful and dramatic performance of Private Peaceful. Set during World War I, the play charts eight hours in the life of Tommo, a young soldier at the Front, as he looks back over the formative events of his life: his father’s early death, his relationship with his loving mother and brothers, Big Joe and Charlie, and their beloved school-friend Molly. The cast and crew worked incredibly hard to bring this 3akp^a+dkcK+ak<+e‰ke^dkk2e3<e^adecade that Year 7 and Top Form have performed together at Beechwood.
