A FIGHTING CHANCE – A SCREENPLAY ABOUT THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR

A Fighting Chance relates a British soldier’s coming of age through his experiences fighting with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. After witnessing both cruelty and kindness in his interactions with Republican and Nationalist supporters, Jim comes to realize that war and politics are far more complicated than he had ever imagined. The effects of combat upon his best friend and his friendship with a Nationalist widow force him to reevaluate his view of the world and his place in it.

A new scary psycho thriller play by our award winning author, Claire Linda Demmer, about really getting to know the man you love…………..before taking him home.
