Author Description

Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, this brilliant debut play shows two brothers, Jonathan and David, and their working-class parents. Jonathan, the high flier, causes the death of his errant girlfriend's older lover, whilst David, a fighter pilot, is sent to the Gulf. Both are killers, but one is revered as a patriotic hero whilst the other is imprisoned for his crime passionnel which the older, inarticulate generation cannot understand.
