Carl doesn't fit in at home. He doesn't fit in anywhere. When he signs up for the Army, he sees it as a way out of his life in Blackpool. But the Army takes him to Afghanistan. And when he comes home, it's not as a war hero but as a changed man.
Gareth Farr's play Britannia Waves the Rules won a Judges' Award in the 2011 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. It premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, in May 2014.
REVIEWS:
"A thrilling onslaught of explosive eloquence... oozes testosterone... often insolently, defiantly funny... its language, sliding in and out of verse, blends hip-hop rhymes with lyrical poeticism."
The Times
"Gritty, well researched... a real tour de force."
WhatsOnStage
"Fast, furious and action-packed... filled with rage."
