		+
		+	== About the play ==
		+
		+	Calling all members of 162 squadron. You are asked to report at 20:00 hours prompt, SLT, 9th - 12 July inclusive.
		+
		+	The (as far as we know) UK premiere of Joseph Heller's own adaptation of his enduring and popular book Catch-22 is taking the South London Theatre by storm this July. By turns ridiculous, frequently hysterical, always funny, the script shoots around between Bologna, Naples, Rome, Avignon as the increasingly lunatic members of Bomber Command, come to grips with more and more bombing missions, during the second world war. Like the book, the play resonates in these war-torn times, and points out the absurdity and ultimate futility of war, from the perspective of the bombers and their idiot commanders.
		+
		+	Our hero Yossarian is tossed on pointless mission after mission, sometimes castigated, sometimes lauded. All he seeks is a way out, and a way to buck the original Catch-22 that he finds himself trapped by.
		+
		+	This play is unsuitable for people with an aversion to loud bangs, pyjamas and a deep love of war.
		+
		+	Over and Out
		+
		+
		+	== Programme ==
		+
