IN LOYAL COMPANY
ABOUT THE SHOW
In Loyal Company is the incredible true story of missing World War II soldier and prisoner of War Arthur Robinson, written and performed by his great-nephew, David William Bryan.
May 1941. Hitler’s bombs rain on Liverpool. Local packer, Arthur Robinson, joins up becoming a private in the 18th reconnaissance division. Deployed to Singapore, his ship is destroyed by Japanese dive bombers on arrival. Arthur is declared missing. This extraordinary true story of survival is a tour-de-force war epic.
The show premiered at Edinburgh Fringe in 2018, selling out 30 shows in 27 days. Having then toured extensively throughout 2019, we returned to Edinburgh Fringe and sold out another 30 shows in a venue twice the size of 2018.
In Loyal Company is next showing throughout August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival August 2nd - 28th 2023.
