The play follows the narrative of our paintings, which lend themselves to patterns and movement, the cast of eight actors play different roles and work as a chorus. The play is an imagining of what might have been. The characters include the resentful Miss Dunn who was demoted to the laundry; the larger than life Sergeant Major Kench who manages to appear in nearly every picture postcard, and fortunately for was referred to by Stanley in his notebooks; the relief of the sick and wounded delivered from the front line; the Beaufort concert hall, the every day rituals of "doing" which of course was what was so important to Stanley and no doubt enabled him to gte through this terrible experience.
