Mettle

Written & performed by Nicholas Collett Directed by Gavin Robertson

Award-winning solo performer Nicholas Collett tells the story of his father’s service during the Atlantic Convoys of World War Two.

Mettle is a true odyssey, that takes the audience from Sheffield to Liverpool to Nova Scotia, Boston to West Africa and home again, amidst the constant threat of U-Boat attack and treacherous weather.

Physical theatre and storytelling are interwoven with a dramatic soundscape and 40’s music to create a tribute to those who served, those who were lost – and those who lived to tell their story.

In association with the Daparian Foundation – committed to those on trauma journeys, supporting veterans and blue lights personnel.
