Vera Vera Vera is a blackly comic play about what we are willing to fight for.

The boy who comes back from a war far away in a wooden box is glorified and called a hero. As the funeral plans are made in a small Kent town, his siblings squabble over who he was. Maybe the fanfare isn’t needed for this heroic martyr.

Vera Vera Vera is the debut play by Hayley Squires.
