The musical begins with a young man in present-day San Francisco who finds an old diary in a junk shop... Through the journal we learn the story of Stu, a scared Midwestern kid who gets drafted in 1943, and who - like most guys - spends Basic Training wrestling with fears of whether he 'has what it takes' to make it in the Army. But unlike most guys, Stu also falls in love with a fellow Private, a handsome All-American guy named Mitch.. YANK...tells Stu's, Mitch's, and Artie's stories, as well as the stories of the other men in Charlie Company. It explores what it means to be a man, and what it is to fall in love and struggle to survive in a time and place where the odds are stacked against you.| 10 Mar 19 | Backstage Bar at The Rialto (formerly Cafe de Paris) Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
