Marching Song

Written by John Whiting
Directed by Penny Tuerk
Presented by Tower Theatre Company

An unnamed European capital seven years after a bruising defeat in war. Before the conflict Catherine and Rupert were the city's golden couple. But Rupert was an army commander and he has been imprisoned since the armistice. Catherine has waited, in an emotional vacuum, in the mansion she built to celebrate their love. Now the occupying power has withdrawn, opening the way for a fresh start, but the ghosts of the past demand retribution. Written in the aftermath of the Second World War, John Whiting's compelling drama explores the impossible dilemmas posed by war.
