By DC Moore.
A powerful portrayal of class and politics by an award-winning new writer, set in the early days of British operations in Afghanistan. Gary is on patrol with his mate Phippy during a swelteringly hot summer, but the terrain seems suspiciously quiet.
The play contains very strong language and violent scenes.
