A near run thing -
the story of the battle of waterloo

Picture
First performed at Apsley House, as part of Waterloo Weekend, A Near Run Thing is a unique two man retelling of the battle.

During the one hour performance the two actors bring to life the characters and events of the battle from the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon to ordinary British, French and Prussian soldiers.

The performance explores the carnage and devastation as well as the heroics and excitement of one of the most famous battles in history.


This new performance is to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the famous battle.
