31 Plays in 31 Days, #7 - "Special Command"

This scene isn't terribly good, but it does depict another pivotal point in the Hawking timeline. We know that Reginald spent a lot of time, about eight or so years, where he was barely ever in London and was instead out abroad for his military duty. He specifically requested this, to get him out of the house after they lost the baby and Mrs. Hawking basically stopped talking to him completely. Bernie and I imagined he ended up as the leader of some irregular special ops team, going around the empire running missions too dangerous or covert for regular soldiers. Some of these missions were heroic, some of them less so. I picture them as a sort of Howling Commandos-type assortment of which you could tell a whole other series of stories.

Maybe I will some day.
