Description

UK Theatre Award Nominee 2022: Best New Play. The evocative story of Royal Irish Fusilier, Norman Clements. The sanity of war becomes the insanity of domesticity as a broken man tries to reconnect with his family after the horrors of WW2. Directed by Matthew McElhinney and written and performed by Norman’s grandson, Richard Clements, this is a profoundly personal journey into the shattered mind of a man trying to regain his place in the world. Through beautiful stagecraft we are immersed in a deeply affecting portrait of love, loss and a search for peace.
