Shocking Stories Of War Exposed: The Lonely Soldiers Monologues

Seven soldiers. Seven women. Seven stories. You think you know war? You don't know the half of it.
 
"Coming home was hard. It’s like you’re a ghost. Like you died and you’re coming back to life and you’ve got to weasel your way back in because everybody had to adjust without you"
 
The 'Lonely Soldier Monologues' touches on the issues faced by women in a male-dominated military environment. 
 
It's a documentary-style theatre play portraying the experiences, fears and opinions of American female soldiers, and is soon to be premiered in the UK. 
 
Laura Hawkins went to see the actors in rehearsals.
