Description
Vera Vera Vera is a powerful and unflinching play that challenges our perceptions of heroism and sacrifice. When a young man returns from war in a wooden box, his family's lives are forever changed. As they struggle to come to terms with their loss, the lines between reality and commemoration begin to blur. This bold new work by Hayley Squires is a searing portrayal of social realism, exposing the darker aspects of human experience. With unflinching honesty, she tackles themes of addiction, crime, abuse, and racism, shedding light on the lives of those left behind. By questioning the myth of the martyred soldier, Vera Vera Vera asks us to consider the true cost of survival and the value of a life lived in the shadow of war.
