Description
A dissection of the impact on society of the war in Iraq
When one man goes to war he leaves the city, his wife and brother. A year later only the wife and brother remain.
Christopher Shinn's new play asks what happens when people and events apparently thousands of miles away affect the heart and soul of a city.
'Christopher Shinn's clever, intricately calculated and quietly moving new play" Daily Telegraph
'Subtle, insinuating, beautifully written new play' Whatsonstage
'an impressive analysis of the collective American psyche rooted in details of real family life' Guardian
Reviews
