Casting has been announced for Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Musical Into The Woods which comes to the Cockpit Theatre in May 2018.
As with that show, it is only possible to ‘warm’ to the characters (and we have to take their side one way or another) if they can charm us. At present, the songs do that aplenty.
This is a harrowing but necessary evening in which the transcripts of seven interviews with American women veterans of Afghanistan and the second Iraq War are woven together into a compelling gendered commentary on the pity of modern war.
