This Is War is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Master Corporal Tanya Young, Captain Stephen Hughes, Private Jonny Henderson, and Sergeant Chris Anders lived through a violent botched mission while stationed in one of the most violent and war-torn sections of the Afghanistan War. Told through their separate accounts to an unseen broadcasting corporation, the truth isn’t always as simple as it seems as a picture is formed, painted by guilt, PTSD, nationalism and violence. Hannah Moscovitch’s Trillium Book Award-winning play is an unapologetic look into what soldiers endure and what civilians can oftentimes not see.
This performance contains mature content and potentially triggering content. Themes include adult language, sexual content (involving consent in a power-imbalanced dynamic), depictions of sexual assault, post-traumatic stress disorder, torture and war crimes, and reenactments of combat scenarios based on the Afghanistan War.
Viewer discretion is advised.
