The acclaimed play by Owen Sheers will feature five of the six original cast members from the play's 2015 run. Phil Dunster, Peter Edwards, Rebecca Hamilton, Zara Ramm and Alex Stedman return with Rebecca Killick joining the company.
Pink Mist tells the story of three young Bristol men deployed to Afghanistan. Returning to the women in their lives who must now share the physical and psychological aftershocks of their service, Arthur, Hads and Taff find their journey home is their greatest battle.
Owen Sheers' Pink Mist was inspired by thirty interviews with returned servicemen and first staged at Bristol Old Vic in July 2015. This moving production, directed by John Retallack and George Mann (Theatre Ad Infinitum) matches Sheers’ haunting verse with dynamic movement.
Pink Mist runs from 21 January - 13 February 2016 at the Bush Theatre Pink Mist runs from 16 February - 5 March 2016 at Bristol Old Vic
