Pink Mist

This amateur production of PINK MIST is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French, Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.Brought to the city by Next Stage - a story seldom staged, yet impossible to forget.


Pink Mist is a rarely-performed, gripping drama told in echoing verse that reverberates through the mind long after the final line. It follows three young men from Bristol as they answer the call of adventure, confront the brutal reality of conflict, and return home forever changed. Raw, beautifully lyrical, and deeply human, this powerful play - woven from the stunning, resonant language of Owen Sheers - reveals the hidden cost of modern warfare and the people left to gather the pieces.
