About this show
Jack stayed on when the guns fell silent, to search the battlefields for the boys that could not go home – for the dead and the missing, for both enemy and friend. And amongst the rusty wire and unexploded bombs Jack is looking for something – looking for someone. He has a promise to keep and debt to repay and now there is this strange request from the generals. A story of comradeship, betrayal and of promises both broken and kept following the carnage of WWI. The tenth anniversary of this official Edinburgh Fringe sell-out show.
