the parachutist
At the height of war in 1943, a parachutist crash-lands in a tree on a farm estate. Taken prisoner by its proprietress, a game of cat and mouse ensues in this comedy, in which both captors and captive are forced to question the nature of war and enmity.
​
The play was first performed at The Sarah Thorne Theatre, Broadstairs, on 30th January 2010.

REVIEW
"Metaphorically, the image of the soldier handcuffed to a chair, like the soldier struggling with his parachute in a treetop captures the trauma and reality for many in the armed services then as now and for this reason, the play resonates beyond the confines of the stage."
