Hayely Squires Play, Vera Vera Vera, Comes To The Lantern Theatre.

A young man comes back from war far away in a wooden box; he’s then glorified and called a hero. As the funeral plans are made in a small northern town in Lancashire, his siblings squabble over who he was and what they were to him.

Written by Hayely Squires, Vera Vera Vera is a black, comic piece, with themes such as drugs, violence, neglect and apathy. It asks the question of ‘what you are willing to fight for?’ Gritty, loud and taboo, this modern play will leave a lasting impression on its audience.
