Description A modern woman in wartime and her lover. In Shoot, Ravenhill has created a series of sixteen short texts that premiered in various locations around London. Mitch Tawhi Thomas, the director, has chosen one of them, titled Love (But I won't do that). Mitch sets it in Iraq, 2004, and is exploring potency of the way we read the iconic figure of the soldier by purposefully casting a Maori (Rob Lloyd) as the character.
