Woodbine Willie was the nickname of the Reverend. Geoffrey Studdert Kennedy, who volunteered as a chaplain during WWI. He won the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He showed the greatest courage and disregard for his own safety and his cheerfulness and endurance had a splendid effect upon all ranks in the trenches. 'This joyful play of overwhelming sincerity and honesty is a moving and heart-warming tribute to Woodbine Willie' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A resonant experience that manages to find humour and joy amidst the sorrow and grief' **** (BritishTheatreGuide.info).
