About this event
Step into the hidden world of the SAS with Damien Lewis - award-winning war reporter and bestselling author - as he brings to the stage the secret history of the world’s most legendary special forces unit.
From their daring birth in WWII to high-stakes modern-day operations, this gripping live show reveals real-life stories of heroism, sacrifice, and strategy. Lewis shares untold tales of sabotage missions, undercover rescues, and extraordinary acts of courage, all drawn from years of frontline reporting and exclusive access to classified sources.
With vivid storytelling and powerful insights, Who Dares Wins offers a rare look behind the curtain of the SAS - the missions they undertook, the lives they changed, and the legacy they forged.
