A Soldier's Song
Ken Lukowiak’s A Soldier’s Song: True Stories from the Falklands was first published to international acclaim in 1993. In 1997, Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson adapted it into a one-man play performed globally. For the war’s 30th anniversary, Lukowiak returned to the stage, earning 5-star acclaim at the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe. This powerful piece captures war’s horror, shame, futility, and black humour through a raw, authentic soundscape.
