DREAMING

Set in the aftermath of the Wars of the Roses, a band of mercenaries pick their way through the ruins of a war-torn  world each searching for something to make life worth living: a home, a family, a joke, a song.  Leading them is a strange hero with a strange dream.  Can you go home when the war is over?

Richard III is the blackly funny, but vicious villian.  The hero Mallory climbs his own Everest in the pursuit of home, and happiness.

No stranger to controversy playwright Peter Barnes is a savage satirist and one of the most inventive of contemporary playwrights.

Bitingly funny, deeply moving,  the play covers a huge panorama usually reserved to big budget epic movies. 

Battles, romances, streams, lakes, swamps, ice skating, grand balls---a full imaginative world.
