Description

Sophie and Max are a thoroughly modern British couple, cosmopolitan, open-minded. They've even constructed their own eco loo (well, it does save thirty litres of water a day). Then there's Hana and Ali next door. Neighbours, but in every other sense, a world apart. Max is a lawyer, albeit a lawyer who grows his own dope. Okay, what a man does on his own patch is his business but when war starts raging next door, whose business is that If ever there was a time for liberal intervention, this is surely it. Tamsin Oglesby's black comedy takes a humorous and subversive look at the world we live in today one of multi-culturalism and blurred boundaries. And one in which violence is right on our own doorstep no matter where we come from. The War Next Door opened at the Tricycle Theatre in February 2007.
