Yesterday an Incident Occurred
Written by: Mark Ravenhill
Directed by: Aoife Spillane-Hinks
Cast: Claire Byrne, Luke Collins, Jemma Curran, Sam Ford
An intimidating gang of passionate young activists interrogate the audience about a brutal crime that took place the day before. But did it happen at all? Just who is sending all these text messages, posting these blog reports, making these emergency phone calls? As the stakes get higher and higher, and the cries for revenge grow more and more hysterical, the likelihood of any actual justice disappears and the prospect of bloody mob retaliation–against the “rotten eggs” who threaten “our” beautiful way of life– seems to be the only possibility.
