Border Crossings and Ashtar Theatre (Palestine)
in association with the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama present:

This Flesh is Mine

by Brian Woolland

TiCKETS

Achilles, the greatest of the Achaean warriors, refuses to fight; angered that King Agamemnon has stolen his captive slave-girl, Briseis.

“She shares my tent, she shares my bed.
Her flesh is mine.”

Produced in collaboration with Ashtar Theatre from Palestine, Brian Woolland’s taut and poetic new play for Border Crossings brings together Homer’s Troy and the Middle East of today: worlds shaken by cycles of violence and revenge, by ambition and self-interest masquerading as idealism; worlds struggling towards any possibility of reconciliation.

Two Schmucks, Three Opinions TESTBED1 Sunday 25th May Noon

Two Schmucks, Three Opinions is a companion piece to Border Crossings show This Flesh Is Mine and intends to galvanise interest in and engagement with the situation in Israel and Palestine and to give people a voice by stimulating their thinking and providing a platform for their expression. Its about speaking and listening and how we voice opinions with those who may disagree.

You eat together while we perform. The first act is autobiography, the second act is the argument and the third act is you – the audience.
