In this trilogy of plays, Robert Holman depicts relationships in which the characters have been touched by the common thread of war - a very pertinent theme at this time.
In the first play, Being Friends, two strangers meet in a field in Kent during the Second World War and talk about its effect upon their lives and futures.
The actors were let down by dialogue that came across as stilted.
The writing improved for Lost, the poignant story of the visit of a Royal Navy officer to the mother of a soldier killed during the Falklands conflict.
The last of the plays, Making Noise Quietly, was the most dramatic. It concerned a concentration camp survivor who befriended a mute child and a British soldier in modern Germany.
In the difficult part of the child, Dan Everson showed great skill in expressing himself without the benefit of speech.
