They say the first casualty of war is the truth.

But the truth can be subjective, objective and obtuse. It can be elastic and illusive. It can be definite and evasive. It can be dangerous and divisive. But it is always patient. It is always just waiting to come out.

A war crime has been committed in a remote mountain village in Croatia. A mother and daughter, both scarred and traumatised, are confronted by a UN investigator trying to uncover the truth. The war has stopped, the ethnic cleansing has stopped – but the questions still remain. Is it for the best for everyone to put the horror behind them and to move on into a better future. Or must the truth come out?

If you are looking for anything light and fluffy – this is not the play for you. If you are looking for something that will engage an audience, move an audience, make an audience slightly uncomfortable, make an audience discuss the themes presented to them for days afterwards – then this is the play for you.

The ideal vessel for three good actresses.

“Deep” and “Shallow” were actually designed as a double-header and writer Simon Denver encourages you to try and present them on the same bill.  You will not get two plays more diametrically opposed than these two. One is a deep drama and one is a shallow comedy.  It is a great workout for three actresses’ to be in both plays.
