The Pull of Negative Gravity - NICK HERN EDITION

Wounded in the war in Iraq, a young farmer-turned-soldier returns home with injuries that have extraordinary consequences

Lust, temptation, sibling rivalry and the pressures of the past combine with the struggle to maintain a rural existence

'With its lean,taut dialogue, gasp-inducing plot twists and spot-on characterisation, The Pull of Negative Gravity promises to be an uncomfortbale yet absolutely essential piece of work' ~ Fest Magazine

'There are hazards in any drama dealing with the aftermath of war, in this case the Iraq conflict as experienced by a farming family in Wales. But Lichtenstein's sensitive handling of his serious subject matter... give this play a strong shape and an emotional honesty ... It's a mark of Lichtenstein's eloquence that we are caught up in the action, sharing their devastation and desperation, as they confront the awfulness of the effects of brutal modern warfare' ~ Independent
