The Last Kill (Contemporary Theatre Scotland)
By Robert Stevens | Published on Saturday 15 August 2015
‘The Last Kill’ offers post-traumatic stress disorder in soldiers some well overdue dramatic exposure, and it’s an excellently rendered look into the beaten mind of a war-trodden soldier. A tricky subject matter is supported by an outstanding script and thoughtful direction: Contemporary Theatre Scotland accurately places an audience inside a deteriorating mind to intelligently negotiate the mental aftershocks of war. It’s by no means a perfect play: certain scenes felt slightly awkward and Gary Quinn’s acting sometimes lagged in comparison to his writing. Yet I was ready to forgive the play’s mistakes, as they didn’t impinge too much on a daring piece of gritty new writing which, for the most part, met its ambition with triumph.
