Notice to Move

This event has passed

Overview

The camaraderie of six soldiers is challenged when cocky Sprog arrives to replace a fallen friend hours before deployment. After Rutter’s mistakes in training that could cost their lives in action, the
soldiers question who will have their back as they’re put on notice to move.

With Smudge on back-to-back tours, Knobby still pulling pranks, Lewis hiding something from her team and Chopper unusually quiet, it’s not just the new kid picking at this second family’s scars. Will
they make it back from breaking point or has it gone too far this time? There are big decisions to be made by the soldiers who can only ‘hurry up and wait’.

Running time

90 minutes (40 minutes performance, interval and then audience Q+A).

Created with the North East Armed Forces Community. Notice To Move is followed by a panel discussion and accompanied by an exhibition of veterans’ writing and artwork and military and civilian support services.

15+ (contains violence, strong language, gunfire effects, smoke/haze, references to death, grief and PTSD)
