Later, After – A Playscript
What happens to people who have served their country in their life later, after the military?
Alex Hunter: ex-husband, ex-army, ex-bomb disposal officer.
Arrested after yet another bar fight, Alex is kept in custody and examined by a police psychiatrist to assess his fitness to be interviewed by police.
What follows is a verbal duel between Dr. Helen Ashton and Alex. He sees her as a well-meaning but ultimately naïve do-gooder working for them—the military family who no longer support or understand him.
I originally published this play in 2017, but after discussions with my late co-author’s wife and family, we have been delighted to donated the copyright and proceeds of this book to Felix Fund – the UK Bomb Disposal Charity.
