Based on a real life story, this play focuses. Capt. Ernest Gordon (Ciaran McMenamin), Lt. Jim Reardon (Kiefer Sutherland) and Maj. Ian Campbell (Robert Carlyle) are among the military officers preserved imprisoned and routinely beaten and deprived of food. Gordon tries to require an attitude that proves to be surprisingly resonant, an even more stoic strategy while Campbell wants to rebel and attempt an escape.
