A miniature epic that explores the mad savagery of war with biting black comedy, and takes us into the dark heart of a strange and surreal conflict.

As soldiers, priests and scavengers roam a battle-scorched landscape, a young medical officer finds herself abandoned and useless, unable to locate the hospital or even the war she was promised.

'surreal comic fizz... Brechtian epic rewritten with droll bite' - Independent

'a sharp satire with an irresistibly silly strain... zany humour and inspired wordplay' - Financial Times

'Surreally humorous, and perceptive about the mindlessness of conflict' - Evening Standard
