This was not really a play in the conventional sense but an animated rendition of the testimonies of people caught up in Western jihadists going to Syria. It was put across extremely clearly with a major message being the marginalisation of young muslims in the wider community. I guess this is not a profoundly original idea but it bears repeating with the spoutings of Trump and the recent unpleasant Tory tack to try to win County Hall.
Lasting around 80 minutes, that was probably enough time to reach satiation point. It was I thought an excellent initiative by the National Theatre and would do well to be screened for a wider audience.
