Andrew Rosendorf’s play deals with major themes around military service, identity and more
There are always difficulties experienced by military personnel re-adjusting to civilian life, and there ultimately isn’t much to distinguish Kyle’s story from that of so many others.
Kyle has just returned from Afghanistan. An American soldier who would do anything for his country, he was injured in a blast, losing both his legs and then some. Stripped of his pride, his job, and his manhood, he is the shell of a man. Andrew Rosendorf follows his character as he adjusts to a life of disability and comes to terms with his sexuality. The writer does a disservice to both characters and context.
Big Boys on Channel 4 includes a new kind of disabled representation that explores the messier side of these characters and their stories onscreen.
