'One NIght' Is an original one act play written by Christopher Swann that lasts just over 75 minutes.
On one night in November 1920 two Officers were tasked with choosing the 'Unknown Warrior' who was to be laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. They entered a small chapel in Northern France where six coffins of the unidentified military dead rested, having been brought from the battlefields of Belgium and France. The Officers entered at dusk to choose one from those six coffins and left the chapel at dawn. No one knows what happened that night and what kept the two Officers - a General and a Colonel who had both served in and survived World War One - in the chapel and why they stayed the whole night. This play is an imagining of that One Night and the dilemma that faced them in making the choice. As they consider which coffin to pick and mull over the randomness that has brought these six unknown soldiers to the chapel, the voices of men of other ranks and a bereaved Mother are heard - all are ghosts who died in the Great war. The play has received professional performances in the UK. This audio book is a Radio version of 'One Night' which is a play in one act.It was recorded in an audio studio in Birmingham with a professional cast and directed and written by the award winning Director Christopher Swann. The Script of the theatrical version of the play is published on Lulu.com at
