Synopsis
In 2002, a young man rehearses for his first armed robbery on a bookstore in Newcastle.
On the other side of the world, Chechen rebels hold siege of the Moscow Theatre, demanding liberation.
One is a local, small time theft and the other an international political crisis, but both are born of a similar futility and powerlessness to be heard.
Moving back and forth between Moscow and Newcastle, these real events are the basis for this exploration on what drives such acts of terror and the impact they hold on the victims.
This AWGIE-award winning play observes with sensitivity and humour the perspective from both ends of the gun.
(1 act, 2 male, 2 female).
