Kynren – An Epic Tale of England welcomed a special guest at one of its recent shows.
Chelsea Pensioner Peter Henry visited Kynren to watch its 1,000-strong volunteer cast and crew bring to life ‘the story of us’ in a mesmerising journey through 2,000 years of English history.
Peter joined the Army when he was 16 years old and served with the Royal Artillery before transferring to the Corps of Royal Military Police where he served 22 years in Regular service and eight years in Reserve.
“What an excellent, informative, interesting and action-packed show. Whilst I have attended a number of shows, there is always something different. The horsemanship of the riders and the control of the sheep and the geese was wonderful to watch.
“The only word I can think of to describe the show is fantastic!”
Peter
Kynren begins with a boy called Arthur accidentally kicking a football through a window of a hunting lodge at Auckland Castle. Audiences are then taken on a fascinating voyage through history as seen through the eyes of Arthur, shining the spotlight on the Romans, Vikings, Norman Conquest, the bloody outcome of England’s Civil War, King Charles’ final journey to the executioner’s block, the Age of Steam, the Queen’s Coronation and more.
“It was wonderful to welcome Peter to Kynren. Our cast and crew are enjoying every moment when they perform the show and to know that Peter was in the audience was a lovely moment for us all.”
Anna Warnecke, CEO of Kynren
