Details

An earnest young journalist attempts to make sense of the insanity of a Vietnam-like country in this dark comedy of casual horror, lost identity and America at war with a country it doesn't understand. The protean figures of The Historical Event creates the world through which he journeys - populated by cynical newsmen and self immolating monks, feminist dictators, battle damaged G.I's, mutilated war photographers and profanity ridden motivational speakers in a play which fuses Stones In His Pockets with Full Metal Jacket to create a vital, comic, challenging and startlingly relevant piece of theatre. Running time approximately 2 hours.
