Act 1 - Welcome... To Afghanistan. We are now 10 years into the current conflict in Afghanistan. Feel like we've been here before? A Ripping Yarns-esque play adapted from Lt. Greenwood's memoir published in 1844. It's 1839. Britain is going to start a war it cannot win. History repeats itself!

"Deadly historical accuracy and wicked barrages of humour." THE STAGE, (A Stage Must- See Show, Edinburgh 2010)
"Comic, brainy and disturbing." NUVO MAGAZINE, INDIANAPOLIS

Act 2 - Welcome... To the UK. Satiric Stand-Up in Rhyme. Not for the faint-hearted or dainty-eared!

"A throwback to the 80's and that's no insult. Comedy with a real viewpoint." THE SCOTSMAN
"Topical, original, and delivered with style. Don't miss it." THREE WEEKS
"Hilarious. Nationalism, economics, Fleet St, giving all an even-handed bashing of wit." CITYLIFE
