Description
Danny returns from Basra to a foreign England and a different kind of battle. He visits an old flame, buys a gun and goes on a blistering road trip through the new home front. 'I don't blame the war. The war was alright. I miss it. It's just you come back to this.' Written during the London bombings of 2005, Motortown is a fierce and violent response to the anti-war movement - and to the war itself. Chaotic and complex, powerful and provocative, Simon Stephens' new play portrays a volatile and morally insecure world. Premiering at the Royal Court Theatre in 2006, Motortown follows the critically acclaimed On the Shore of the Wide World, which won the Olivier Award for Best New Play in 2005.
