An account of the tribulations, tedium and terror that young soldiers face when recovering from injuries incurred in the line of duty. Five young soldiers are killing nothing but time when their daily routine of TV, lonely hearts ads and light-hearted banter is shattered by the arrival of an unwelcome authority figure: a young officer fresh from Sandhurst. The camaraderie of this unlikely band of brothers is soon jeopardised by a dangerous incident and an act of betrayal. With charges of misconduct looming, accusations fly - and then the fighting really starts. Fired by the author’s anger at the Army’s neglect of its wounded heroes, the play is fiercely current in the wake of accusations of poor equipment of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Jonathan Lewis will be reworking the script and assisting Director SEB BILLINGS’s| 3 Nov 09 to 21 Nov 09 | Theatre at the Tabard Outer London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
