Whistleblower

ghraib.jpg

In September and October, I’m developing a new play with the Royal Exchange, Manchester. Thanks to the good offices of Sarah Frankcom (who many years ago directed Showstopper), the Exchange are paying for a week of research, some writing time, and then a workshop week with actors, which will culminate in a public showing of a rough staging of the draft play at lunchtime on 21 October. I’m working on it with Lucy Kerbel, who directed Manchester last year, and we’re developing it together.

The play will be a two-hander, dealing with a soldier offering to blow the whistle on war crimes committed in a foreign war. As his testimony unfolds, the story gets more complicated and unnerving. It’s a play about what is right and what is wrong, personally and globally.

You may be here because you’ve come across a book, or play, or article of mine and you want to know more. Maybe you’re a student or a colleague or a friend or an acquaintance and you want to find out more about me. Maybe you are gathering ammunition for a vicious ad hominem attack that will expose me for the charlatan that I am.  

If so, you’ve come to the right place. Feel free to get in touch.
