THE
PRISONER'S DILEMMA
by David Edgar
|
Originally produced
by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place, Stratford
Upon Avon in July 2001, this enthralling new play was written
for a cast of 10 men and 4 women. |
|
|
|
Following The Shape of
the Table and Pentecost, this is the third in a loosely-connected
series of plays about the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin
Wall. Set in an imaginary Soviet republic, where the Orthodox
world faces Islam, Edgar's play explores the attempts to settle
the richly dramatic, and seemingly intractable conflicts which
emerged in the wake of the Cold War. |
|
|
'a genuinely intelligent and far-reaching political
play'
Lyn Gardner, The Guardian |
|
|
'Edgar's greatest gift as a dramatist is
to make the political process not only interesting but riveting'
Charles Spencer, The Telegraph |
|
|
'This is one of the most urgent and intellectually
committed plays of the past two decades, and it should be seen
by everybody who wants to understand the world of wars we live
in'
John Peter, The Times |
