Published in volume Making Noise Quietly: three short plays

The first of the three plays that make up Robert Holman's acclaimed dramatic trilogy Making Noise Quietly.

It is 1944. Two young men meet in a Kentish field as doodlebugs whizz overhead. One is a farmer, the other an artist, but an intense bond forms between them.

Making Noise Quietly was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, in June 1986.

REVIEWS:

"Robert Holman is one of the most distinctive playwrights of the past twenty years: an unassuming Yorkshireman whose work has a freshness, integrity and luminous poetry."
