Days of Significance by Roy Williams

Three soldiers standing in silhouette against sunrise

Set in 2003, after the invasion of Iraq, Days of Significance follows the complex love lives and mortal fears of young soldiers departing their English market-towns for the deserts of the Middle East.

With questions around morality at its heart, this thought-provoking piece of theatre examines the cost of sending naïve young people to war, and the catastrophic reverberations for the West’s moral authority.
