"One day you will say something from the heart, a truth forced raw and screeching from the howling depths of your soul." Powerful poetic language, dark humour and provocative ideas build a fast moving story around a fiercely intelligent young girl and her relentless refusal of the establishment. When suddenly a peoples revolution breaks out and a mercenary soldier intrudes the family home, the conflict between the regime and the unconquered girl is revealed. The Unconquered toured the UK in 2007 with Stella Quines Theatre Company.
