AFTER critical and audience acclaim at the Edinburgh Festival, including a nomination from The Stage for Best Solo Performance, My Grandfather's Great War comes to the Borough Theatre Abergavenny this month.

The World War One diaries of Captain Alexander Stewart meet the contemporary perspective of his grandson, the actor Cameron Stewart, who steps into his Grandfather's shoes in a personal exploration of his family's experience of the last century.

The diaries, as heard on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, remained a Stewart family heirloom for 70 years before Cameron published them online in late 2007, sparking an incredible amount of media interest and generating thousands of sales of the e-book version.

They were published in hardback in June 2008 under the title A Very Unimportant Officer.

Tickets for the show on Thursday, October 22 at 7.30pm and cost £11 (concessions £9), available from the theatre's box office 01873 850805.
