| Synopsis: | Geoff dead: disco for sale - the words spoken by Geoff Gray Senior when he learned that local papers give the first five words of an obituary free of charge. It's the sort of bleak humour in the midst of tragedy which characterises Fiona Evans' new play about the deaths of young soldiers at the Deepcut Barracks.The play concentrates on the deaths of Privates Geoff Gray and James Collinson through the families' fight for a full public inquiry. It's structurally complex, using what is almost a "play within the play", as well as direct addressing of (and interaction with) the audience and flashbacks, and evokes an equally complex reaction in us as we watch and listen. - Peter Lathan, British Theatre Guide | |||||
