“When the truth is just a lie”

An IRA bomb has shattered the life and body of Ben Sutton. This cruel twist of fate draws him close to Clare, his carer and sets his brother Michael and father Graham on a collision course with each other and the hospital Matron.

While I am not a political correspondent of any sort, this was a story I felt compelled to write if only to reflect that there are two sides to any story and it is always the innocents who suffer the most. This is a demanding play for all characters to have to portray the reality of a very real situation and a challenging role for the actor who is Ben.
