A mysterious gentleman visits a young terrorist on the eve preceding destruction. The young man has prepared his bomb. A game of cat and mouse begins. Wit, wisdom, foolishness and drama explode into a war of ideas between old and new, between generations and beliefs.
In a world where terrorism and attacks have become a constant threat, from Sandy Hook to the Boston Bombers, this play, inspired by Dostoyevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov” and “The Devils” could not be more relevant today. Accompanied by live violin and viola played by the actors themselves, the play blurs the lines between theatre and concert creating a rich dialogue.
