21 October 2009 - 24 October, 2009

Royal Shakespeare Company

Before they depart for active service, two young soldiers make the most of a drunken night out with friends in an English market town.  Their bravado is soon crushed by their tour of duty and the civilian life they return to is now as alien to them as the desert they left behind.

Following its premiere in Stratford in 2006 and a critically acclaimed London run in 2008, Northern Stage is the venue for a new production of Roy Williams’ timely and explosive play which examines the aftermath of a war whose conflicts rage far beyond the Iraqi battleground.

"Passionate, powerful and important. One of the most disturbing and persuasive portraits of young England I have ever seen. Gripping stuff." Daily Telegraph

This production contains strong language, violence and some explicit scenes of an adult nature.
