About this show
Thrown together in one of the most horrific battles in human history, three very different young soldiers must bond to ensure the success of the military machine they are part of. If their bonds become closer than expected, is this a weakness or a strength? When many of the freedoms we take for granted are under threat, Night Falls on Burma tells the stories of people whose sacrifices to win them are seldom celebrated in the “official" histories. Writer Paul Stone has researched the experiences of Indian Army and queer soldiers to celebrate our shared history.
