I saw the play, Not About Heroes, 23 years ago, done in a tiny theatre in the round setting. I came out of the production nearly hypnotized. I was drawn so into the story and the characters, Owen and Sassoon, that it took me many minutes, sitting outside in the theatre's patio, to come back to the real world. While reading a script is never the same as seeing a production, I was similarly drawn into the story and the characters, and read the entire script in one sitting. After doing so, I read Owen's biography, which gives a great deal of background for the drama.

Not about Heroes book. A truly sweet, heartwarming monologue between historical characters, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. It plays out their relationship well, even though the author does not go as far as to describe the very real "romantic" relationship they had. If you love Pat Barker's "Regeneration" series, you will definitely appreciate this play.

Owen held Siegfried Sassoon in an esteem not far from hero-worship . Stephen MacDonald's play Not About Heroes (first performed in 1982) takes as its subject matter the friendship between Owen and Sassoon, and begins with their meeting at Craiglockhart during World War . .

Owen held Siegfried Sassoon in an esteem not far from hero-worship, remarking to his mother that he was "not worthy to light pipe". The relationship clearly had a profound impact on Owen, who wrote in his first letter to Sassoon after leaving Craiglockhart "You have fixed my life – however short".
