"Days of Significance" is a powerful drama set in 2006 exploring the volatile lives of Ben and Jamie, two young British soldiers caught between two different battlegrounds as they prepare for and endure active service in the Iraq conflict.
ACT1: set on the streets of an urban English town, filled with drunk brawls and sexual tension. Conveying the messy party scene of the early 2000's, this act is loaded with layered polos, studded belts and the lowest of waistlines.
ACT2: Shifting violently to Basra with meticulously researched, bloodied, battleground uniforms.
ACT3: Revealing budget suits and tiny dresses emphasising the return to England for a raunchy yet devastating wedding. Supported by Jamies military Dress Uniform as individuals lose themselves to booze, revealing the aftermath of the tour on the soldiers and their friends back home.
