For King and Country

Synopsis:
The play's timeless central theme has not so much to do with shell-shock ( potent as the issue of Post Traumatic Stress Disporder may remain) as it has with the idea of an overpowering internal logic, of a situation which, once entered into, generates a genuinely compelling necessity that can nonetheless be grotesquely inappropriate.
- Gail-Nina Anderson, British theatre Guide
