Hello and welcome to the Restless History, Dominic. Have you heard the latest exciting news about our live tour?

I have, Dominic. It's actually shocking news. It's shocking but also heartening. But just to remind you the listener, the rest is history is going on a nationwide tour at the end of April 2023.

I say tour but it's for three nights only. We'll be in London on the 25th of April and the historic Drury Lane Theatre. Then we'll be able to edit more of the following evening on the 26th of April to play at Usher Hall.

And we will finish on the 30th of April at the Larry in Sulford Greater Manchester. But Tom, the listeners are gacking to know about this shocking news that you have for them about the tour.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can announce that our London live show has now sold out. I repeat, all 2000 seats, yes 2000 seats at Drury Lane Theatre are now sold out.

So not even frozen the musical, the show that we are of course replacing at Drury Lane, not even frozen sold out that quickly.

I can imagine Elsa listening to this right now, fuming at the very thought of the rest is history stealing her snowy thunder. But Elsa, all I will say to you is let it go.

People can go to both shows.

But just to emphasize, that's our first live date already sold out and tickets are selling incredibly quickly for Sulford and Edinburgh too.

So if you do want to come, please buy your ticket right now to avoid disappointment. Now, if you've never been to one of our live shows, what a treat or wait. So we have an incredibly inventive approach.

Tom will take the first half and he will be running through his repertoire of Marilyn Monroe songs and I do be the do thanks for that.

And I will be picking up after the interval with the PowerPoint presentation on the economic policies of Stanley Baldwin. It's an absolute riot.

Fun for all the family. So these are our first ever shows outside London as a podcast. So we'll be putting on a tour de force. I think Dominic is the only word for it in both greater Manchester and the Scottish capital.

There'll be impressions, perhaps a Mureguin pipe music and plenty of absolute lads from history.

Here is how you can get tickets. Just go to restishistorypod.com. It is very, very, very straightforward. That is www.restishistorypod.com. Buy your tickets now to Sulford and Edinburgh before it's too late.

What passing bells for those who die as cattle? Only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles or rapid reticle can pat her out their hasty horizons.

The opening of Anthem for doomed youth by Wilfred Owen, famous war poet who died in action on the 4th of November, one week before the armistice brought peace at last to the Western Front.

It is indicative of the way that people in Britain have come to see the Western Front from Wilfred Owen. It is a line to the concept of lions led by Donkeys, the joke and black ador of hagg making yet another gargantue and effort to move his drinks cabinet six inches closer to Berlin.

You have written a book on the 1st of law. I have been published before Christmas. It is such a fascinating subject.

I was thinking when you were reading that poem, did you like my song of voice? I thought it was beautiful. I think if the history doesn't work out and who knows if it will, then a career as a reader of poetry audiobooks.

War poetry. I think you'd be great at that time.

I was about to say, Wilfred Owen, I did that at GCSE. At a pretty much exactly that moment, black ador goes forth, was going out on whatever it was, BBC One.
