Publisher Description: Society is fuelled by anger; dissatisfaction shapes Twitter feeds, online petitions and protest marches. But is that enough to bring about change? Alejandra and Marcela are female anarchists, nervously planning to plant bombs in the middle of the night. They don't want violence. They just want to be heard. Prison's not much of a threat when most of your friends are inside. Then they meet Jos Miguel. He is from a different generation, a time when revolution was ripe and activism alive, and he's committed to change by any means possible. B explores what revolution and violence mean to two different generations. As they talk. the women's naivety is exposed, and Calder n manages successfully to convey the self-aggrandising absurdity that often lies behind terrorist acts. (The Guardian). B is written by Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderon and was developed as part of the Royal Court Theatre's international programme. |
