Synopsis

Angel- One of the top ten plays of 2016. The Times

Three gripping one-act plays, in monologue and duologue form, showing the brutal and bloody impact of the current Middle Eastern crisis on ordinary people.

The Collector is a tale of creeping darkness, set during the Coalition's occupation of Iraq, as a team of prison guards become brutalised by war. 'Outstanding new writing... first class' Scotsman

Echoes is a bloody story of colonialism - ancient and modern - and the rhyme of history, drawing astonishing parallels between the lives of a Jihadi bride and a Victorian pioneer. 'A dark and daring look at colonial cruelty... hugely impressive' Guardian

Angel is set in a Syrian town, where the apparently indestructible Angel of Kobane - a crackshot sniper with a hundred kills to her name - is all that stands between the town's citizens and the fearsome approach of ISIS. 'War reportage at its best - and great theatre' The Times

All three plays premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe between 2014 and 2016, and have subsequently toured the UK and globally, including runs in London, around Australia and at New York's 59E59 Theaters. They have won eleven major international fringe awards, including several Fringe Firsts.

Henry Naylor began writing for the theatre after a successful career in TV comedy, including as a lead writer on Spitting Image. 'He is emerging as one of our best new playwrights' The Times.
