Three separate characters with three seemingly separate lives are drawn together in a pulsating drama that looks at a global tragedy of the highest order. We Have Fallen charts the story of Jennifer, a young career driven flight crash investigator, as she looks at a tragedy that caused the crash of twelve airplanes.
The story is told via three characters. Pam (Barbara Wilshire) is an activist who is apposed to the expansion of airports amongst other causes, Richard (Oliver J. Hemborough) is a down on his luck banker and the aforementioned Jennifer who is brilliantly played by Lydia Larson. The trio deliver the fantastic script (written by Jacqui Honess-Martin) at break neck speed and without missing a beat. The performances from the versatile cast heighten the drama and move the story forward at a finely tuned pace.
The characters are drawn together and investigate the physics behind the tragedy. When the story reaches its dramatic conclusion, the audience is with them every step of the way. The sound design from Tim Middleton adds to the tension in this gripping and intriguing drama that is filled with twists and turns round every corner.
