An American doctor, an Irish journalist and an English academic find themselves thrown together in a cell in war-torn 1980s Lebanon with no idea when - or if - they will ever be released. As victims of political action, powerless to initiate change, how do they endure? How do they survive in the face of interminable monotony, profound mutual irritation and abject terror?
In its bold new production MESH Theatre Co explores the daily crisis experienced by hostages whose strength comes from a compelling mix of humour, invention, acerbic wit, tolerance - and love.
