Our Boys is a bit of an enigma. The play itself passes off as a sort of hospital-cum-army drama, a cross between the boring bits of casualty and the marvellous bits of... Well.
Suddenly you hit a bit of a brick wall with trying to describe something like this. It's understated, laddish, and a little bit brutal... But its also genuine, sad, heartwarming and upsetting. Our Boys has a balance which few other plays (at least this year) seem to have found.
