Synopsis
Poetic and deeply affecting, Robert Holman's beautiful dramatic trilogy is a subtle meditation on the impact of conflict on those at the sidelines. Each of the three plays (Being Friends, Lost and Making Noise Quietly) focuses on the simple humanity that unites us all in times of suffering. Two men meet in a Kentish field as V2s fly above. In the height of the Falklands War, a mother receives a visitor who brings terrible news. A German businesswoman shelters a fugitive British private and his stepson.
A new edition of the classic triptych published alongside the major West End production at the Donmar Warehouse in 2012.
