Action centres on the lives of men in the Tank Corps in 1916. There was a belief that the machine could shorten the war and bring the appalling slaughter to an end. The drama explores the ways in which this belief binds the men together and, ultimately, fragments their lives.

A chillingly Kafkaesque world where nothing is quite as it seems, and where office politics can lead to unlawful questioning, torture and even murder... Afra has decided to make a complaint. She is certain that her grievance is legitimate: she is perfectly clear about her rights. And she has no intention of giving up until she has some satisfaction. Nick Whitby's play The Complaint was first performed at Hampstead Theatre, London, in May 2012.
