Production details

Former MP and veteran campaigner Tony Benn and multi award-winning stage actress Janie Dee host the event, in which an array of artists give their time freely to explore the power of words and music against the human cost of war. Amongst those due to take part are Peter Straker, Rupert Wickham and Margaret Preece. All profits go to the Mark Wright Project, created by the parents of the eponymous 27-year-old private who dies in Afghanistan. The charity provides aid for servicemen and women recovering from the physical and mental wounds of war.
