Soldiers swapping the theatre of war for the theatre stage are showing their mettle as actors.
Veterans are performing alongside “civilian actors” in a stage version of War Horse author Sir Michael Morpurgo’s book Little Manfred – a tale of post- Second World War reconciliation.
Among them is Oliver Devoti, 37, who has been in Game of Thrones, Bodyguard and The Monuments Men – directed by George Clooney – since his four years in the Army, serving in Northern Ireland.
