Description: The boy who comes back from a far away war in a wooden box is glorified and called a hero. As the funeral plans are made in a small Kent town, his siblings squabble over who he was. Maybe the fanfare isn't needed for this heroic martyr. 'Vera Vera Vera', Hayley Squires's first play, is a blackly comic piece about what we are willing to fight for. It was first presented at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 22 March 2012.
