The year is 1913 and war with Germany is imminent, Rudyard Kipling's determination to send his myopic son to war triggers a bitter family conflict which leaves Britain's renowned patriot devastated by the warring of his own greatest passions: his love for children - above all, his own - and his devotion to King and Country. David Haig's My Boy Jack is a powerful and moving account of the anguish at the heart of a man whose storytelling continues to delight millions all over the world. It was first staged at Hampstead Theatre, London, in 1997, with David Haig himself playing Rudyard Kipling. Ten years later, it was filmed for television, with Daniel Radcliffe as Jack and Haig again as Kipling.
