The Two Worlds of Charlie F. moves through the stages of service,
from the war in Afghanistan, to dream-like states of
morphine-induced hallucinations, to the physio rooms of Headley
Court. All through the view of soldier Charlie Fowler's service,
injury and recovery. The play explores themes of physical and
psychological injury and its effects on soldiers as they fight for
survival. Drawn from the personal experience of the wounded,
injured and sick service personnel involved, The Two Worlds of
Charlie F. premiered at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, in
January 2012 and toured nationally. It was revived for an
international tour in 2014. This is a small cast adaptation of the
original. "Powerfully affecting - Gripping. The authenticity of
verbatim drama and the saltiness of barracks-room humour with the
finesse of something more lyrical." - Telegraph "An evening of
rare, raw power." - Independent
More than 30 years on, the older Nathan speaks at a parole board
hearing, recalling the crime and the dynamics of his friendship
with Richard, defined largely by their shared intelligence, their
passion for Nietzschean philosophy, and their desire for the
ultimate thrill. With simple staging requirements, Stephen
Dolginoff's tense, two-character musical drama explores the unusual
love story behind the "crime of the century". "There is no
production currently running in the capital that is more
intelligent, atmospheric and haunting than this." Sunday Telegraph
"Thrill Me is thrilling indeed." Evening Standard "Sharp and witty,
full of strong songs and clever twists." Whatsonstage.com The cast
