Brothers
BROTHERS "I survived by accident. I remember by choice." 21st March, 2003. Operation Telic. Iraq. Eight brothers dead. Haunted by voices and dying eyes, Tip Cullen holds the line. Tip carries eight men with him every day. Their absence shapes his present as much as their presence shaped his past. Brothers is his attempt to bring them back into the room—live, breathing, immediate—and to make the audience a witness to what he carries alone. "This play isn't about war—it's about love that survives death." A powerful new solo play from Royal Marines veteran-turned-actor Tip, Brothers is a raw, honest reckoning with war, loss, and the bonds that outlast death. Following a sold-out scratch performance at The Lab, Theatre Royal Plymouth, the fully developed production returns home to The Drum before touring regionally and nationally from February 2027.
