Time Out says Rate it

If you're seeking clarity concerning the deaths, between 1995 and 2002, of four soldiers at Deepcut barracks, you'll find this evening frustrating. Nicholas Blake QC, who led the government review, thinks the deaths were self-inflicted. Ballistics expert Frank Swann is 'satisfied [that] they were, in fact, murder.' The real subject of Philip Ralph's docudrama for the Sherman Theatre, Cardiff is the indication of cover-up and corruption throughout the Deepcut investigation. In a suburban front room, the parents of Private Cheryl James recount their daughter's life and death. Plenty of questions remain unanswered. That's the point. All the Jameses (Ciaran McIntyre and Rhian Morgan) want is openness and honesty, qualities they themselves radiate under Mick Gordon's unfussy direction. The play isn't ostensibly partisan. It's just a very sad story about young people's deaths, a mother and father's loss, and the state's refusal publicly to do them justice.
