Britannia Waves the Rules by Gareth Farr

2011 Bruntwood Prize winning play opens at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.

Written by Gareth Farr

Carl doesn't fit in at home. He doesn’t fit in anywhere. When he signs up for the army, he sees it as a chance to escape the grim reality of life in his hometown. But the army takes him to Afghanistan. And when he comes home, it’s not as a war hero but as a changed man.

Britannia Waves the Rules transfers from the Royal Exchange to appear at Latitude Festival and then tours to the Edinburgh Festival.
