It's April 1st 1982 and with the Argentinean invasion of the Falklands imminent Major Mike Norman is dispatched with 70 Royal Marines to secure the Island. Unfortunately Sir Rex Hunt, the Governor, has not been fully informed and prepares the islanders for battle, so initiating a tragic error of judgement. An Ungentlemanly Act is an almost satirical dramatisation of actual events, superbly acted and as rich in farce as it is pathos.
