A new play about Gallipoli by Justin Fleming
Shellshock is a love story. Granted, an unusual love story… between an Australian teenager and his mate Herman, a tortoise – the oldest living survivor of the Gallipoli campaign.
When a newspaper article reveals the surprising identity of this last survivor, a mysterious woman from Turkey arrives at the Lindsay farm. Fourteen year old Tom, his father Jack, and feisty grandmother June, become embroiled in a drama that takes them to the other side of the world, in search of answers, and the true origin of Herman.
Justin Fleming’s heartfelt and quirky new play features Turkish shadow puppets and a brilliant cast. Shellshock will be a highly entertaining and uplifting experience for young and not-so-young audiences, in the spirit of War Horse.
Shellshock is a new play commissioned by Riverside Theatres.
