“He chose us to tell his story because of our reputation for hardhitting investigative journalism and pursuit of the truth, no matter where it leads, or whose toes we step on. The naked girls may have had a part to play too.” When a soldier returns home after serving in Afghanistan he tempts a newspaper editor with personal photos that seem to expose outrageous acts of brutality. But when their authenticity is questioned, how far can the story be spun to stop the real truth leaking out… This exhilarating new play (by the author of Rat in the Skull and Moonlight & Magnolias) was premiered at the Tobacco Factory Theatre, Bristol in 2007. |
