This trilogy of short plays by Robert Holman explores the complex concept of war through the effects it has on a series of unpredictable and original characters.
The 25-minute duologues follow three chance meetings which, were it not for the experience of war, would never have taken place and reveal an evocative depiction of 20th Century lives, which is particularly poignant in today's political climate.
The first, Being Friends, revolves round two men who meet in a Kentish field as V2s whiz over head and discover an unlikely bond.
The second, Lost, is a moving portrait of a young naval officer who visits the estranged mother of his friend, killed in the Falklands.
The third, Making Noise Quietly, follows a German woman (a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp) who takes in a Falklands veteran and his autistic stepson.
The elusive style of writing and, in the case of the last play, the way movement and noise from the ten-year-old mute boy is used to punctuate speech, sets a thought-provoking atmosphere which encourages the audience to chew on the issues he raises rather than accept theories.
Starts 7.45pm, except Sunday (2.30pm) and Monday when theatre is closed. Costs £7.
