​This is War
by Hannah Moscovitch
Dixon Studio, Palace Theatre, Westcliff on Sea
5th - 8th June 2019

Following an ill-fated operation in the most volatile region of Afghanistan, four Canadian soldiers recount different versions of the mission. Their stories reveal how the human equation -- personal relationships and sexual tensions -- can affect the outcome. Step into the ravaged psyche of the contemporary soldier in uncompromising terms with this dramatic story of modern warfare. Hannah Moscovitch is a Canadian playwright and This is War won the Toronto Critics Award in 2013.
