Synopsis
Pornography
$15.99 Published by Methuen
A stark and shattering play that powerfully captures a portrait of a fractured, insecure Britain
Written in reaction to London crashing from the euphoria and promise at being awarded the 2012 Olympics into the chaos and reality of the 7/7 bombings, the play is composed of seven stories that serve as a countdown to the catastrophic attack on London
Each playlet focuses on a different individual dramatising their life in the run-up to the tragedy
Published to coincide with the English language premiere at the Traverse Theatre as part of the International Edinburgh Festival before transferring to the Birmingham Rep, this is the first stage play to confront the London bombings of 7 July 2005
