Overview

A father seeks out his son on the battlefields of the Crusades, calling into question the senselessness of the bloodshed he encounters. A platoon of British soldiers sit in their trench awaiting the order to go over the top, and debating amongst themselves the point of it all. These two one-act plays by Rodney Quinn tackle the difficult subject of war and peace with his characteristic wit and irreverence.
