1914. The Great War rages. Britain recruits 30,000 men between 5’ and 5’3" to fight. These men come from all over Britain, Ireland and Canada. Known as Bantams after the small, aggressive rooster, they're formed into special Bantam battalions. 1918. Bouzincourt, France. A group of reporters visit the front to write about the Bantams. One Bantam remains: Patrick Michael Wolfe, a teacher from Dublin. This is his story, from the battlefields of France to rebellion in Dublin. Inspired by real events. ***** (BritishTheatreGuide.info). ***** (UKTW.co.uk). *****(@moreishtv) **** (PlaysInternational.org.uk). 'Hidden Gem' (FringeReview.co.uk).
