Bully Boy by Sandi Toksvig
A rehearsed reading in aid of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America
A ferociously gripping play that tackles the challenging moral issues of contemporary military occupation and its effect on the mental health of serving soldiers with startling insight.
A Falklands War veteran is sent to a combat zone to probe allegations of severe misconduct by a young soldier, part of a self-styled 'Bully Boy' unit of the British Army. As the interrogation develops, we discover that 'the truth' in a modern insurgency is often a point of view rather than a fact.
With Lucius Robinson and Gregor McElvogue; directed by Joseph Megel.
These performances are in aid of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
August 16 & 17 at 8:00 p.m.
Tickets: $5.00 with an additional suggested donation of $5 to $25. Tickets go on sale July 22nd.
