Details

A conscientious objector and a roaming artist find tenderness as the carnage of World War II unfolds across the Channel and doodlebugs explode in the meadow. A bereaved mother struggles with bitterness and love in recollecting her estranged son, lost in the Falklands. Deep in the Black Forest, an ageing holocaust survivor seeks to bring peace to a disturbed young boy and his equally wild step-father. A delicately poetic triptych of plays, Holman's seminal work paints a very human picture of the subtly devastating effects of war and examines the bonds of suffering shared by us all.
