Squaddie

This film is based on the character of ‘Tadge’ from Anthony Neilson’s play ‘Penetrator’. Tadge is a Scottish veteran who served in Baghdad and has struggled to adjust back into society. Tadge has convinced himself that a group of mysterious operatives called ‘penetrators’ are hunting him down in order to cause him harm and sexually assault him. I have chosen to take this character and explore it further within the modern day context of living in a pandemic. This film highlights how the impact of isolation on the most vulnerable members of society  can be devastating. #SquaddieFilm
