This War is Familiar

As part of Refugee Week, 1989 Productions presents 4 brand new plays exploring 4 fundamental human rights that are being violated across the world. Confronted with danger, two women have very different ideas about war, their escape and what lies in Europe.

In Ireland, a woman visits her local travel agent to plan an important trip, but with so many choices available, how will she decide? A prisoner shares his views on murder, punishment and repentance in the final moments of his life. In the wake of the New Year’s Eve assaults in Cologne, the worlds of journalism and its victims are explored: in today’s 24 hour news world, do we ever get the truth?

Plays by Nicoletta Barrett, Jenny Knotts, Duncan Taylor and Jingan Young
