Thanks to a generous performing arts grant from SODC and the grant of the Parish Hall from Benson Parish Council the Bensington Society are staging Christopher Swann’s first play “One Night”, which was premiered in Birmingham in autumn 2023.

“One Night” is an imagining of the historic night when two officers went into a Chapel in France in November 1920 to choose the Unknown Warrior who is now laid to rest in Westminster Abbey. The officers went in at dusk and emerged at dawn and no one ever talked or wrote about what happened. Some of the original cast will be performing as well as some distinguished new comers. It will be an “enhanced staged reading” given the short time we have to stage it. Tickets are £5 and will be available on the door as well as the from the outlets detailed on the poster.
