FROM 8TH TO 12TH AUGUST 2018
INFLUENCING MACHINE present:
THE WAR ON TERRY
“My girlfriend thinks I’m obsessed with death. Well maybe I am, but only as much as the next rotting sack of bones.”
It’s Terry’s birthday. At 27, he is now older than his older brother Danny.
With a shoebox full of dead ladybirds,Terry reminisces over their childhood, whilst fighting to come to terms with his regrets over how things could have been different. A darkly comic monologue about boys, Christmas socks and not growing up.
Developed in support of the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) from a multi-award-nominated young playwright.
