Depending on your age, you might remember the glares, even visual examinations, some men received when they came back from the fields, deserts and jungles of World War Two, perhaps even closer to home in time, the Falklands’ War, the sacrifices made on both sides of the divide in Ireland, any conflict where the senseless of killing another human being for being in a different coloured uniform is brought home in the eyes of the affected and the screams that burn into the hearts of their loved ones; these are the memories of the sneer, the accusations of somehow being less of man just because you don’t want to die.

There are just some people in the world to whom evil is not a strong enough word to describe them; that their very actions on this Earth are to be considered so vile, so despicable that it is impossible to show any remorse for them. To take them on as a character within a film or a play is almost to feel as if you are opening up a crack in life that should be left alone; however that then would detract from the story that must be told as a warning so others are prepared for the Footsteps In The Shadows.
