A new play by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon is telling the story of the Falklands War from the islanders' perspective.

The Falklands War has, for the past four decades, mostly been described in militaristic terms via the many books, television dramas and documentaries that focused on the subject.

Now this new theatrical production shines a light on a different perspective, that of the islanders who found themselves at the centre of the invasion, the subsequent fighting, and the eventual liberation.
