When Jimmy Vanderberg leaves the Ford factory in Detroit and volunteers to serve in Vietnam, he wants to prove himself a man. But after the war, Jimmy returns to a country more humiliated than grateful and feels abandoned by those he served. Years later, he is persuaded by the ‘Make America Great Again’ campaign, but a chance visit by the son of a fallen comrade forces him to doubt his convictions. A gripping new solo play by the award-winning playwright of Hull Truck audience favourites, Dancing through the Shadows and Dark Winter.
