THE WAILING STONE

THE WAILING STONE - a black comedy about a group of soldiers posted to a remote outpost in order to watch the mysterious "wailing stone". As the soldiers bicker and ponder their purpose, the play explores themes of the absurdity of war and the search for meaning in a bleak, unflinching universe.

Part Theatre of the Absurd and part anti-war satire, this one act play is a quick, surrealist romp through an unspecified war with unspecified objectives, through the eyes of three characters who have very different views on what it means to serve one’s country.
