Great British Incompetence costs Great British lives.
Written and directed by Tom Mallaburn.
1854. Britain is fighting a war in the Crimea. Incompetence, childish rivalry and astonishing miscommunication amongst its unqualified, aristocratic commanders create a series of tragic errors that lead to the totally unnecessary deaths of ordinary soldiers - culminating in one of the great military disasters in history, commonly known as The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Blunderland is a tragicomedy that reminds us how lucky we are to live in a time where incompetence, childish rivalry and astonishing miscommunication amongst unqualified, aristocratic leaders are merely things of the past.
