His poetry was inspired by his experiences on the Western Front and he became one of the leading war poets of the era. \nAdored by members of the aristocracy as well as stars of London’s literary and stage world\, he embarked on affairs with several men as he attempted to come to terms with his homosexuality. At the same time\, broken by the horror of war\, he made his life’s journey a quest for salvation\, trying to find it within the conformity of marriage and religion. His story is one of a troubled man in a fractured world\, searching for peace and self acceptance\, something which speaks as meaningfully to the modern world as it did then. \nCert: 12A \nRunning time: 2hrs 17mins \n\n\n\n URL:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/benediction-15/2022-06-10/ LOCATION:United Kingdom GEO:55.378051;-3.435973 CATEGORIES:Film,On Screen ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Benediction.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
