Shell Shock
"There's nothing wrong with me; it's the others!"
After
a long service career, 'Tommy' attempts to fit in to civvy life but as
the world conspires against him, nothing is safe from his increasing
outrage - Post Office queues to Ikea, computer games and smart-phone
zombies, all feel the force of Tommy's frustration as the walls close in
and crash around him.

Reviews & Fringefeed Reacts
Emotional, compelling, confronting, thought-provoking and most importantly – honest. Respectful, delicate and real. - Morgan Burley, Radio Adelaide
Tim Marriott majestically drives the audience on a visionary trip to the painful world of an ex soldier affected by PTS. Exemplary. - Riccardo Barone, Kryztoff RAW
