Beschreibung

Paperback. It can be argued that nothing good, not one damned thing, came out of World War I. This play is a pillar of that contention.Based on a true story of a young soldier who was returned home so badly damaged he was unrecognisable, apart from a single tattoo, Patient 12 tells the story through the eyes of the doctor who becomes embroiled in the mystery of this soldier's identity and starts a forensic journey to identify this man. Patient 12 is set in an office in a Melbourne military hospital, in the years immediately following World War I. The play examines a neglected period of Australia's history through the prism of the kith and kin of those who went to war and either failed to return, or came back physically and/or emotionally scarred. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
