Synopsis

Welcome to our war The Two Worlds of Charlie F is a soldier's view of service, injury and recovery.

Drawn from the personal experience of the wounded, injured and sick Service personnel involved, Owen Sheers' The Two Worlds of Charlie F . premiered at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London, in January 2012 and toured nationally that summer.
