Rough&Ready Theatre Company

‘Bobby’s dead and you’re still breathing. That’s a fucking walking talking tragedy that is.'

A young man comes back from war far away in a wooden box; he’s then glorified and called a hero. As the funeral plans are made in a small northern town in Lancashire, his siblings squabble over who he was and what they were to him.

The play is a blackly comic piece, with themes such as drugs, violence, neglect and apathy. It asks the question of ‘what you are willing to fight for?

Gritty, loud and taboo, this modern piece will leave a lasting impression on its audience.
