A Thousand Sons

The Fringe Office, Edinburgh

About the Show

Weapons of mass destruction. An existential threat. Betrayal and injustice. We live in hope that we’ll never have to experience the effects of nuclear weapons… but some of us already have. And they are still dealing with the consequences. A Thousand Sons tells the true story of British Nuclear Test veterans in a powerful solo performance that blends action and poetry with verbatim testimony from a forgotten community of nuclear veterans, used and betrayed by those in positions of power. An eye-opening journey from the past to the present to shine a light on the truth.
