YOUNG VIC ANNOUNCES NEW SHOW
The Events by David Greig
An Edinbugh Fringe First Award Winner
10 July - 2 August 2014
Directed by Ramin Gray
From www.youngvic.org: "When Claire, a priest, survives an atrocity she sets out on a quest to answer the most difficult question of all; ‘Why?’. It’s a journey that takes her to the edge of reason, science, politics and faith. David Greig’s daring new play explores our destructive desire to fathom the unfathomable and asks how far forgiveness can stretch in the face of brutality."
