Introduction
1984. Five young soldiers, among them veterans of the troubles in Northern Ireland and the Hyde Park bombing who are killing nothing but time in a military hospital with TV, games, pornography and cynical humour as their only means of mental escape. Tensions arise however when a young officer is billeted with them ... and then the fighting really starts. Fired by the author’s anger at the Army’s neglect of its wounded heroes ‘Our Boys’ is explosively funny, perceptive and surprisingly tender. The play is fiercely current in the wake of accusations of poor equipment of our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It won the Best Fringe Play Award from The Writers’ Guild for its author Jonathan Lewis.
