PALMYRA

Following an extended, unanimously-acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, and touring Spain with Best of BE 2017, Bert & Nasi’s Total Theatre Award-winning, “weird, wonderful and strangely stressful” piece (★★★★ The Stage) arrives at the MAC this May.

PALMYRA is an exploration of revenge, the politics of destruction and what we consider to be barbaric, inviting people to step back from the news and look at what lies beneath, and beyond, civilization. A challenging and contemporary piece that focuses on the broader issues emerging from Syria.

PALMYRA was named number 3 in the Guardian top 10 theatre shows of 2017.

"It could be seen as a show about the West's inability to take action in Syria, but equally read as a metaphor for a personal relationship breakdown. Viciously funny." Lyn Gardner
