* Wilfred Owen during the First World War.
Looking back over 100 years isn’t something the Berwyn and District u3a usually does, but at the last open meeting members were gripped by Strange Meetings, a moving performance by actor and author Shaun Higgins.
Higgins has studied the life and works of Wilfred Owen, and in a tour de force using many of the poet’s own words, he sketched the pity of war in a monologue which held his audience transfixed.
This one man show went from Owen’s stay at Craiglockhart in Scotland, where he was treated for shell shock in 1918, to his death just days before the end of the First World War.
The u3a has meetings open to everyone every third Monday of the month at Canalfon Ni, Corwen.
The next meeting, on April 23, will be a talk by Iwan Edwards of North Wales Wildlife Trust on gardening for wildlife.
