LINES by Pamela Carter premiered at The Yard Theatre, London in 2015.   This is the play’s Australian premiere.

Four young soldiers lie awake in their barracks.
Their thoughts turn to war, to violence, to heroism.
But on the inside, their minds wage a war on themselves and each other.

In 2013, after 12 years of war, the Australian Army ceased active combat duties in Afghanistan.
What happens to new recruits, trained up and ready for combat, when there is no war to fight?

Pamela Carter’s thrilling new play is about young men who are searching for a sense of meaning, identity, security and family.

Who do we get to fight our wars? And how do we recruit them? These questions sit at the heart of LINES.

“(LINES) combines a compelling dream-like intensity with a vigorous energy”, The Guardian
