When it comes to scattering their mother's ashes, three siblings are hit with a bombshell revelation that turns their world upside down.

This remarkable play by BAFTA-nominated Tom Needham is based on the very simple premise that ‘it's not what you say, it's the way that you say it'.The first act is a full-blown, larger than life comedy. Then, after the interval, the actors swap characters and it's repeated as a serious drama. The difference between the two acts is astonishing. How can the same story, performed by the same actors, saying the same words be so different? There is only one way to find out…

Presented by Clap Trap Theatre in association with York Theatre Royal and featuring Thomas Frere, Cal Stocksbridge and Dominic Goodwin.

It began as a sudden strange fancy… Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time…

And now she's enlisted in the army, and is searching for her lost brother. But there's a war on and whatever anyone says, their side's coming off worse. Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them.

All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army, a vampire with a lust for coffee and a readiness to fight dirty. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of… the Monstrous Regiment.
