Geneva Convention
Brighton Fringe 2024

My play Geneva Convention will get its official full premiere at The Lantern Theatre, Brighton, from 27th-29th May 2024 as part of Brighton Fringe Festival, with further dates later in June. Geneva Convention is a highly experimental work in four parts, corresponding to the four conventions: Wounded & Sick / Maritime / Prisoners of War / Civilians. The piece explores the psychological/existential impacts of war. On all of us, even those not involved but who must reluctantly bear witness to its excesses.

“The existence of terror in society (whether in the form of torture, arbitrary imprisonment, kidnapping or disappearances) has harmful effects which are not limited to the potential or actual victims. Rather it functions much like a fragmentation bomb, damaging or at least threatening everything in the surrounding area.” (Marcelo Vinar, from the book 'Civilization and Torture')

"Because whatever has happened to humanity, whatever is currently happening to humanity, it is happening to all of us. No matter how hidden the cruelty, no matter how far off the screams of pain and terror, we live in one world." (Alice Walker)
