Sir Michael Morpurgo, speaking at the launch of Return
of The Unknown.
To mark the centenary of the end of the First World
War The Marlowe presents Return Of The Unknown,
an immersive journey into the world of remembrance,
telling the stories, known and unknown, of the towns
and people of our region.
Travel back in time in the unique setting of Dover
Marine Station: the place where the First World War
ambulances returned, the wounded were tended
and the healing began, to the scene of the station’s
most momentous return of all - that of one warrior,
unknown, who was to become the symbol for a
nation’s remembrance. Principal sponsor:
Drama, music, dance and digital art combine to
create this spectacular theatrical experience, made
and performed by leading professional artists, and a
community company drawn from across Kent. Return
Of The Unknown is an entertaining, moving and Project partner:
thought-provoking event. It’s a unique way to mark this
exceptional anniversary: exploring how, why and what
we remember, in the place where remembrance began.
