Butterworths Brigade

The worlds of 12-year-old Axel Tyler and 73-year-old Brigadier Butterworth couldnt possibly be farther apart. While one is content to live life to the full in the fast track of 1990s Britain, the other yearns for the day when the country regains its senses and returns to those pre-war values that made Britain Great. When events conspire to bring the 12-year-old rebel and the madcap Brigadier face-to-face, conflict becomes inevitable as the irreconcilable values and beliefs of two widely different worlds collide. The war between the two combatants is fought within a privatised, concentration camp, which is situated deep in the heart of Arundel Forest. Who will win the hearts and minds of the 59 teenage-rebel prisoners who have all been expelled from their schools and imprisoned in Arundel Forest: Axel or the Brigadier? At stake is nothing less than the future of Great Britain and the values of its young.
