Pink Mist

Company: Bristol Old Vic

Pink Mist by Owen Sheers

Pink Mist tells the story of three young men deployed to Afghanistan. As the physical and psychological aftershocks of war take their toll on the loved ones they left behind, Arthur, Hads and Taff find their journey home is their greatest battle.

‘Pink Mist may be the most important play of the year. It is certainly one of the best.’ Whatsonstage

Owen Sheers' Pink Mist was inspired by 30 interviews with returned servicemen and first staged at Bristol Old Vic in 2015. "Fearlessly lyrical in its imagery" (The Times), this critically acclaimed show directed by John Retallack and George Mann (Theatre Ad Infinitum) matches Sheers' haunting verse with dynamic movement.

‘Eye-opening and brilliantly vivid’ (The Times)
