Description

1968 and the sexual revolution is stuck in a traffic jam just outside Leeds, but two brothers are about to see beyond the citys narrow perimeters. A fan of the Kray twins, Banks proudly models himself on Reggie Kray and pushes his gentle giant of a brother, Arthur, into the subservient role of Ronnie. As they hitch their way down the M1 they find a shifting cast of characters, offering everything from fish paste sandwiches to balloon based sex. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this Leeds-based company Wheres Vietnam has a soundtrack of sixties soul and dirty funk played live on stage. This is a black comedy about love, loyalty and not letting disability stand in the way of extreme violence.Where's Vietnam opened at the West Yorkshire Playhouse on 19th June 2008.
