Motortown

<p>Danny returns from Basra to a foreign England and a different kind of battle. He visits an old flame buys a gun and goes on a blistering road trip through the new home front. <br>'I don't blame the war. The war was alright. I miss it. It's just you come back to this.' <br>Written during the London bombings of 2005 Motortown is a fierce violent and controversial response to the anti-war movement - and to the war itself. Chaotic and complex powerful and provocative Simon Stephen's new play portrays a volatile and morally insecure world. <br>Motortown premieres at the Royal Court Theatre on 21 April 2006. It follows the critically acclaimed On the Shore of the Wide World (Manchester Royal Exchange/National Theatre) winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Play (2005).</p>
