Echoes of War: The Brylcreem Boys

on BBC Two England

by Peter Durrant
The action of the play is set in an RAF hospital for Aircrew in 1944. George Nunn, an RAF Corporal ground crew, finds himself the odd man out...
"As an evocation of fear and loathing in a bomber, all upper lips soggy with sweat, it was memorable." (Sunday Times)
"By the end I was on tenterhooks lest the crippled, wholly unreal bomber should destroy itself on landing." (Daily Telegraph)
