Horizontal Collaboration

Performed daily by four new actors, always reading blind. Intense drama where sex, power and politics meet emotion, seduction and destruction.

From multi-award-winning writer/director David Leddy, ‘leading theatrical innovator’ (Times), ‘genius’ (Scotsman), ‘Fringe institution’ (Independent). Four lamps, four laptops. Four U.N. lawyers present explosive tribunal transcripts from Judith K, an African warlord’s wife. After her husband’s assassination, Judith becomes leader. She takes her people on a treacherous path towards peace… or does she? Lawyers turn down lamps one by one, then laptops, until we’re all left in darkness.

Warning: Sexual violence.
