Dreaming by Peter Barnes

Set during the reign of Richard I, the play follows the trials of a group of soldiers returning home from war. This is Peter Barnes's most romantic play to date. This new play is full of dreams about home and the idea that you can never go home again. Full of humor, wit and ultimately tragedy, the play is full of many of Barnes's hallmark dramatic traits: looking at history askance and commenting on the fallibility of the British character.
Peter Barnes (1931-2004) was a British writer and director whose work includes The Ruling Class (Nottingham and Piccadilly Theatre, London, 1968), Leonardo's Last Supper and Noonday Demons (Open Space Theatre, London, 1969), The Bewitched (RSC, Aldwych Theatre, London, 1974), Laughter! (Royal Court Theatre, 1978), Red Noses (RSC, Barbican, 1985) and Sunsets and Glories (West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds, 1990). Over the course of his career he won many awards including the Evening Standard Award, 1969; the John Whiting Award, 1969; the Sony Best Play Award, 1981; the Laurence Olivier Award, 1985; the Royal Television society Award for Best TV Play, 1987; and was nominated for an Oscar in 1993.
