Shell Shock - UK

Monday, 26 February 2018 to Friday, 16 March 2018
Adelaide Fringe

The second production in the Lest We Forget series is Shell Shock, a stunning personal realisation of one former soldier’s experience of learning to cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. 

After a long career in the military, Tommy’s observations on the absurdities of every-day life back on civvy street are frequently comic, sometimes violent but always poignant. Nothing is safe... a post office queue, a trip to Ikea and a Nintendo Wii all feel the force of Tommy's outraged frustration...

​Based on Shell Shock: The Diary of Tommy Atkins by Gulf War veteran Neil Watkin, Shell Shock is adapted and performed by BBC comedy veteran Tim Marriott (The Brittas Empire) following successful seasons in Edinburgh and New York and an extensive ‘stigma reduction’ tour to regional theatres and education centres including ‘behind the wire’ performances to serving personnel throughout the UK.
