Overview
Nig and Wee Joe used to be soldiers. They have done monstrous things.
Now nobody is listening and nobody gives a fu*k either way. Their lives
are full of cognitive behavioural therapy, valium and guilt.
One last operation offers the chance to bring meaning to their actions.
It also brings them face to face with 'L , who represents the new and
unpredictable reality of war in Northern Ireland.
This tense
and darkly funny play from Jimmy McAleavey takes a fearless look at why
men go to war. This edition was published to coincide with the world
premiere at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 4 June 2015.
