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

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.
