2006



Essentially, a dark tale on the reactions of a group of paras just returned from The Falklands
struggling to come to terms with surviving the conflict whilst friends and comrades died - the plot brings them together as they prepare to attend the funeral of one of their mates in the summer of 1982.

For those of you already familiar with FOURBLOKES - the line up was: Kim as Sharp, the driven 'army to the core' corporal and obvious leader of the team, Phil as his pushy ally Walters, Paul as the cool yet vulnerable Goldy and Ross as the most obviously cracking-up-fast younger Polo.

We were very fortunate to have acquired Ben Lawrence from Derby Shakespeare Company to play Denis, whose role represented a more stable and stabilizing presence, and is possibly the only character audiences could actually warm to.

The slick, pacey style of Bouncers was revisited in "Welcome Home" - together with another very different but equally unforgettable soundtrack.
