TALKING TO TERRORISTS is a play that was commissioned by the Royal Court and Out of Joint in 2005.

The writer Robin Soans, director Max Stafford – Clark, and actors interviewed people from around the world who have been affected by or those involved in  acts of terrorism.

They wanted to know what makes ordinary people do extreme things, often at a shockingly young age. The people they met, several of whom have asked not to be named, spoke candidly and often bravely.

The stories take us from Africa, Israel, Turkey, Iraq and Ireland to the heart of the British Establishment.

‘One story we heard seemed particularly significant. A relief- worker told us of arriving at a large village which had been completely destroyed. The people there were angry not because they had nothing to eat and nowhere to live but because non-one had listened to their story of what had happened. “

Cast includes, David D’Silva, Zuzi Fort, Kira Fort, Tiffany Joy, Alyson Standen, Joseph JU Taylor.
