There he met the severely shell-shocked Wilfred Owen, already making his first tentative steps as a poet. By the time Owen was killed in action, a year later, he had written what is now considered to be the finest poetry of the Great War. This 1982 play examines how the two poets\u2019 friendship unlocked Owen\u2019s genius. A profoundly moving piece about the nature of friendship, love and the art of war. \u2018Not About Heroes\u2019 is written by Stephen Macdonald and features two talented young, recently graduated, Highland based actors and is directed by Philip Howard, Artistic Director of Dundee Rep.
