As part of the commemorations of the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings, the town of Bayeux is hosting an immersive audio performance in English about British war poet and D-Day veteran Keith Douglas.
Douglas was a WWII tank commander, who fought in North Africa and participated in the Normandy landings. He was killed three days after D-Day, on 9 June 1944, near Caen, while on a reconnaissance mission.
Unicorns, Almost, is a one-man play about his life by Welsh poet and playwright Owen Sheers. It premiered at the Hay-on-Wye book festival last year to great acclaim, and will be presented at this year's Edinburgh Festival.
