Description: The story of nine young people and a statue of a private soldier in the First World War. At its heart is a trio of people - each in love with the other, but in the wrong order. Adie likes Gary, but Gary likes Shelley, who likes Adie. None of this is simple, as the three discover as they struggle to understand and cope with the hand life and love have dealt them and 'sort out what they can put up with, and what they can't'. Commissioned for the 1999 BT National Connections scheme, this insightful, tough and moving play was first produced at the National Theatre in 1999.
