An acclaimed trilogy of plays exploring the impact of war on ordinary lives.
In Being Friends, two young men meet in a Kentish field in 1944 as doodlebugs whizz overhead. One is a conscientious objector, the other an artist, but an intense bond forms between them.
In Lost, May Appleton, whose son is serving in the Falklands, receives the visit that every mother dreads.
In Making Noise Quietly, set in 1986 in the Black Forest, a German businesswoman takes into her home a fugitive British private and his disturbed stepson.
