:19:39. > :19:40.on an undiscovered novel by the Gloucestershire war poet FW Harvey
:19:41. > :19:42.has opened in Cheltenham thhs week. Will Harvey's War is based on
:19:43. > :19:45.a manuscript amongst his belongings Harvey, who came from the Forest
:19:46. > :19:50.of Dean, ended up as a prisoner Here's our Gloucestershire reporter,
:19:51. > :19:56.Steve Knibbs. FW Harvey's writings capturdd
:19:57. > :19:58.the spirit of the Great War and his longings
:19:59. > :20:01.for his beloved Gloucestershire Famous for his poetry,
:20:02. > :20:04.it came as a surpirse to many when a novel he'd written was discovered
:20:05. > :20:08.in an old trunk at his formdr house. A sentimental romance,
:20:09. > :20:11.part autobiographical, it offers an insight into how war
:20:12. > :20:15.changes people's lives. In the preface to the book,
:20:16. > :20:17.Harvey says, However we dislike it,
:20:18. > :20:21.the fact stands that for this generation the war must be
:20:22. > :20:24.the supreme historical event. For until
:20:25. > :20:27.the sacrifice is understood and I went back to Harvey's old home
:20:28. > :20:36.in the Forest of Dean to medt his She found the novel under
:20:37. > :20:39.his old writing desk and kndw I was just gripped with turning
:20:40. > :20:45.the pages and thinking, this didn't happen in real life, and, I know
:20:46. > :20:49.that name, but it didn't fit there. And the sequence of dates,
:20:50. > :20:52.it was really intriguing. I began to think, then,
:20:53. > :20:55.that he was playing around with times and places or moving them
:20:56. > :21:01.around in some method of wrhting. The novel has been adapted
:21:02. > :21:11.into a play at the Everyman in Cheltenham and concnetrates
:21:12. > :21:13.on the thrilling and romantic elements of thd story
:21:14. > :21:17.as Will Harvey falls in lovd with A life built upon words
:21:18. > :21:23.and language. A story that, true to Harvex's form,
:21:24. > :21:30.is Gloucestershire through The whole of act one is completely
:21:31. > :21:36.set in Gloucestershire, then they go off to the war
:21:37. > :21:40.in act two and then they cole back It is for Gloucestershire
:21:41. > :21:46.we have created this play. I have seen gypsies before
:21:47. > :21:48.in Gloucester, selling heather And to keep it local, the four main
:21:49. > :21:55.professional actors are backed up It's a great opportunity
:21:56. > :22:00.to work with professional actors but also get to know other people as
:22:01. > :22:15.well. It's very exciting. And married to someone dark, someone
