From Olivier Award winning playwright Nicholas Wright:
"Pat Barker's tale of love, loss and loyalties is exquisitely served by Oliver McFadden's production... with needlepoint sensitivity and firecracker nerve."

Oliver fell in love with Regeneration through Siegfried Sassoon. Sassoon was the 1st example Oliver had encountered of a person convinced of the anti-war position but whose courage and patriotism were without reproach. Reading this play changed his understanding of WW1 objectors.
In the cases of Sassoon and Owen we incorrectly assume they are straight and erase a part of their lives in doing so, we erase part of their love and that is a tragedy. (2/2)
