| Description |
The second production in the Lest We Forget series is Shell Shock, a stunning personal realisation of one former soldier’s experience of learning to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. After a long career in the military, Tommy’s observations on the absurdities of every-day life back on civvy street are frequently comic, sometimes violent but always poignant. Nothing is safe... a post office queue, a trip to Ikea and a Nintendo Wii all feel the force of Tommy's outraged frustration... |
