Remembering Stephen Haggard: 🌹🏵️
<p><strong>It is Remembrance Day. Let us take a moment of silence to remember the man that Stephen Haggard was.</p><p>—-</p><p>About the Original World War Two play: Interviewing Stephen Haggard:</p><p>Born March 21st, 1911 and killed in the line of in duty in February 1943, Interviewing Stephen Haggard invites its readers into the honest and most profound thoughts and viewpoints of a Father, a poet, an author, and a Soldier's memoir to his children, I'll Go to Bed at Noon: A Soldier's Letter's to His Sons, published 1940 in the Atlantic Journal. Here, his most poignant and candid of words are thoughtfully and respectfully reimagined in the form of a fictional Radio Interview with a fictional interviewer, in June of 1940. Taking nothing away from the real thoughts of the actual man called up to face the darkness of Hitler's Nazi regime, the play before you asks questions of which you may be compelled to answer: Will you remember Stephen Haggard and What does it mean to carry the weight of a legacy that has largely been forgotten by time? "And time, more time, give me more time!" Cries Fastidious.---The Story: Enter BBC journalist, Edith Thatcher, a young late twenty some American who finds herself caught in the crossfire of London on the verge of rationed food, chaos, evacuations, and bombings, in the summer of 1940; her task a simple one, following a grand performance of a play in New York in the early 30's, she wishes to find and interview the co-star of Ethel Barrymore's Whiteoaks, Mr. Stephen Haggard, a London local, and what a piece of luck at that.In a race against the clock; and with time running out, Mr. Haggard awaits his turn to be called to the frontlines for training, what might our ambitious interviewer find as she gets to know the charming and ever elusive, Stephen Haggard?---The Author would like to note that this is a work of fiction based on real words and letters left behind by a complicated personality, Stephen Haggard was not interviewed in actuality in the year 1940, Edith Thatcher is entirely fictitious, the settings and the characterization of some individuals, are inspired by real people, real places, and the interactions are based on surviving personalities from written literature of those who lived in such tumultuous times. With that, the meeting, the radio interview and subsequent situations, etc, is entirely fictitious and a product of the authors imagination.</p>
