Martin Crimp’s 1997 masterpiece has been perplexing and inspiring audiences for almost two decades. Written against the backdrop of media saturation, Eastern European conflict and a spike in right wing terrorism the play has never felt more vital. After years honing their craft at the beloved, Kings Cross Theatre, Montague Basement are putting it all on the table for one final farewell to the venue with a production that is sure to be remembered.
