About Shellshocked

From the creative team behind the five-star, multi-award-winning Jesus, Jane, Mother and Me and LASH.

The horrors of World War Two have broken young Wesley, but could the madness he encounters beyond it save or destroy a soldier’s shellshocked mind?   

Following a hugely successful sold-out Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Shellshocked is a powerful new play by Leeds-born playwright Philip Stokes, recognised by the British Library as a culturally important playwright of the 21st Century.  

Starring Jack Stokes, winner of the Adelaide Critics Circle Award 2023, and Lee Bainbridge, previously in Heroin(e) For Breakfast.

Presented by Richard Jordan Productions, King Brilliant Theatre, 412, Lawrence Batley Theatre and Harrogate Theatre.
