From the website (slightly edited):
Sink the Belgrano! (1986) considers the British lower classes under Margaret Thatcher’s rule during the Falklands War of 1982. The war was the result of the Argentine invasion of the British-owned Falkland Islands. "Britannia rules the waves" — But, Belgrano! dares to ask, does Thatcher merely "waive the rules" of international warfare with the sinking of the Argentine naval ship Belgrano with a nuclear-powered submarine? This highly scatological satire of war and corruption is full of Shakespearean bastard rhymes and Cockney slang. A uniquely clever anti-war play with timeless themes and questions by author Berkoff — the “Bad Boy” of British Theatre.
