Welcome to the Providence Department of Art, Culture & Tourism - Phone: 421-7740: "Organization: First Unitarian Church of Providence Event Name: Not About Heroes Dates: 11/12 - 11/12/2007 Description: Monday, November 12, 7pm Aurea presents 'Not About Heroes' starring Nigel Gore and Rudy Sanda, featuring Consuelo Sherba, viola, directed by Bob Colonna. First Unitarian Church Parish Hall, 1 Benevolent Street (corner of Benefit and Benevolent Sts.), Providence. Tickets available at door only; $15 general admission, $10 seniors, $5 students. Phone 401-654-5372. Aurea, by popular demand, reprises its critically acclaimed production of 'Not About heroes', Stephen MacDonald's moving play about World War 1 poets, Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen. The play is inspired by true events; Sassoon and Owen met during the war, while both at a Scottish hospital for 'nervous disorders,' and formed a deep friendship that affected the poetry of each man, as well as the poets' view of war. The production is complemented by period music, performed live by violist Consuelo Sherba. 'Not About Heroes' is intensely relevant, particularly on this national weekend of remembrance."

The book became a best-seller and was acclaimed for its wit, dark humor and irreverent tackling of tragic events, including the death of Sedaris’ mother. Prior to publication, several of the essays were read by the author on the NPR program This American Life."
