Combat is a comedy based on the aphorism that... 'none of the ideals and promises for which our wars have been waged have ever been realised'. The play explores in a humorous manner the fact that despite its gory past, the human race is still ready to go to war at the proverbial drop of a hat, or a bombshell! The play is about a martyred statue. It is also about a three member army squadron, stylishly named “combatants, companions, numskulls of the Pacifist Regiment” led by a garrulous chief for whom combat is the raison-d’etre of life. They employ all the tricks of coarse comic trade to draw non-stop laughter from the audience. There are two cameos by Babar and Raja Raja Chola; plus an innocuous babu; and The Bomb.
