Our Boys in London
Starring:
Arthur Darvill
Camaraderie and dark humour – It’s Our Boys
Fired by anger at the neglect of Britain’s wounded heroes, who return home to a cold welcome and are left to recover the best they can from the horrific injuries they suffered while serving their country, this is a poignant and darkly funny exploration of servicemen’s experiences. As our soldiers continue to give their all in foreign theatres of war, this play is just as relevant now as it was back in 1993 when it won a coveted Best New Play award.
This is the play’s first West End production, coming hot from the same production team that made the international stage hit Journey's End such a roaring success.
Our boys - The story
Based on the author's own army experiences, Our Boys is uncomfortably honest and hilariously funny at the same time, a potent mix. Five young soldiers are back home, slowly recovering from injuries they suffered when on duty. But their dull routine of daytime telly, lonely hearts adverts and typically British banter, which so often masks pain and distress, is dramatically broken into pieces with the arrival of a certain young officer.
The small band of men, all very different, have built up an unlikely camaraderie, but a dangerous incident threatens to break them apart and betrayal is an ugly bed mate. Charges of misconduct are on the cards, all sorts of accusations are flying and the fighting soon starts in earnest…
Perfect for the over 12s
There’s some strong language and the themes of this play are distinctly adult, so it’s recommended for people aged twelve and above.

UnderstandingAs a former serviceman I really enjoyed and understood the banter and jargon used, between the cast, but I did think would anybody not connected to the services get what was going on?

FantasticWonderful show that really reflected the nature of war for these soldiers. The sharp turns from hilarity to profound grief really brings the audience to share in the character's struggle as they recover from war. The acting, staging and overall experience was marvelous. In addition, the actors were very generous in talking to the theatregoers after the show, and prove to be truly wonderful people. Definitely recommend.

Still relevant after 30 yearsOur Boys was an excellent revival. The play has a good mix of the funny and the poignant and is extremely well acted by a strong cast. The character of Ian is particularly well done, so muc so that for the first few scenes I was undecided if the actor really was disabled or not. Wouldn't recommend for families mainly due to the language but this is essential to the charaterisation so would not take any of it out. Despite the dated references (which I would leave in as they compliment the 80's music very well) this play is as relevant now as it was then. The overlaying reality that we are still bringing our service men and women home in boxes or seriously injured has not changed only the geography has. An excllent play which had me laughing and sad in equal measure.

A must see showOur Boys shows just what our heroes had to endure after being injured defending our nation.Wonderfully acted by a brilliant cast and a honest portrayal of life in the hospital whilst recovering, but not for the easily offended as the language is as you may expect strong. Brilliant worth seeing
