The play is set in the Conyngham Arms Hotel, fields of Slane, Derry and the battlefields of Flanders in the lead up to the First World War.
Friendly Fire tells the story of Francis Ledwidge as a poet, lover and his internal conflict before he makes the decision to go to war. We learn about the two loves in his life - Shivvie and Ellie. His best friend Timmy and Lord Dunsany who funded him as a poet. He returned that gesture by joining Dunsany's regiment to fight in the the first world war.
