This world premiere of a new Tariq Ali play contained flashbacks, video footage, images, news coverage and animation. All the action took place in the living room of the home secretary’s house. I created a huge bay window which also doubled up as a media wall and contained slide projection, televisions and lightboxes as well as tree branches for the interior scenes.
The smaller version was made for the Soho Theatre.
