"Peter Barnes is one of the unrecognised geniuses of the English theatre" (Plays and Players)
From the Back Cover
Set during the reign of Richard III, the play follows the trials of a group of soldiers returning home from war. This is Peter Barnes's most romantic play to date. This new play is full of dreams about home and the idea that you can never go home again. Full of humor, wit and ultimately tragedy, the play is full of many of Barnes's hallmark dramatic traits: looking at history askance and commenting on the fallibility of the British character.
