Description

Ismail, Bella, Krim and Yonathon are teenagers. They quarrel, have sex, smoke joints, love, hate, kill and die in Bierut, Hiroshima, Ireland, Iraq, Bosnia... Crossfire is a heartstopping play about tumbling through the checkpoint of life and death warzones everywhere and at all times. Crossfire is a devastating indictment of the madness of war splashed on an epic canvas. This extraordinary play was first performed in English at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh.
