Multi-award-winning actor, Nicholas Collett brings this stirring true story to our shores. A must-see show for all generations...

"Unmissable" TULPA

"Pure gold, this masterpiece of theatre" Broadway World

"Keeps the audience totally enthralled" Canberra Critics Circle

"Make sure you catch this very real force in British Theatre" I.L.S.

METTLE is a true story: a celebration of a man and his service on one of the most infamous Atlantic convoys of World War Two, and an observation of a past generation who, although quietly wrestling with demons, remained silent about their service for many years.

From his childhood through to the present day, multi-award-winning actor Nicholas Collett takes us on an epic journey, retracing his father’s steps: from England to the USA, Sierra Leone and Nova Scotia, reliving the utter terror of U-boat attacks and the storm-tossed ocean, and a close encounter with Glenn Miller!  METTLE A tale of love and loss, both moving and funny, and above all life-affirming and a salute to those we miss most.
