Events While Guarding the Bofors Gun
John McGrath
This play is a study of seven men, six gunners and an eighteen-year old lance-bombardier, trapped in a futile situation which drives the wildest of them to increasingly extreme insubordination. It is Germany in 1954, a bitterly cold winter. The gun they guard is obsolete. The woeful events of the play are unfolded with biting irony.
