Set during the catastrophic events of World War One, George, Harry, Richard, and Thomas are four juvenile teenagers who have been sent to battle.
Despite the devastating conclusion that brings their story to an end, this play explores masculinity and the relationships formed as these soldiers pass the time - during their waiting game in the trenches.
This play is dedicated to all of those who fell during the events of World War One.
