British playwright Robin Soan’s play was first performed on 21st April 2005 at the Theatre Royal in Suffolk, England.
It is a strong and confronting work of Verbatim Theatre. Every word spoken has come from the mouths of real people, from very different vantage points . . . terrorist, perpetrator, hostage, victim, politician, journalist, peacemaker. Christians, Sunni and Shia Muslims, IRA, Kurd, NRA, the British Army, Foreign Office, relief-worker, and psychologist.
Nine actors portray some twenty-eight characters. Soans’ play provides eye-opening insights, and is a rewarding exploration of many opposing points of views in the most pressing issue that the world currently has to deal with.
Running time – 150 minutes, including one interval.
TALKING TO TERRORISTS is playing the King Street Theatre until 3rd June.
