About

Picnic on a Battlefield by Fernando Arrabal is a darkly comic and absurdist anti-war play, using humour and the ridiculous to explore the human cost and senselessness of conflict. The evening is in aid of The Royal British Legion Veterans Enterprise and Chelsea Theatre. A live 'Dad's Army' piano bar plays favourite tunes from yesteryear in the bar beforehand from 7pm. Wednesday's performance is a regular show, while the special Gala Night on Thursday raises funds and includes a champagne reception.
