Drama full of sex, power and politics
An intense courtroom drama concerning sex with enemy soldiers during wartime is performed at Birnam Arts thisThursday.
Suitable for ages 16+, Horizontal Collaboration, a play confronts the current hot topics of sex, power and politics when they collide with emotion, seduction and destruction.
In the David Leddy/Fire Exit production,four UN lawyers read out startling interview transcripts from their laptops in an explosive tribunal concerning‘horizontal collaboration’- the name given to the supposed wartime crime of having sex with an enemy soldier.
The intense stillness of the courtroom contrasts with the volatile narrative that unfolds around Judith K, an African warlord’s wife.
After her husband’s assassination, Judith becomes leader and takes her people on a treacherous path towards peace… or does she? And can women ever be given the freedom to lead in a different way from men?
