Martyr (Oberon Modern Plays) (Paperback)
A new play by one of Germany's most prominent playwrights, available for the first time in English. Benjamin won't do swimming at school. His mum thinks he's on drugs or has body issues. But Benjamin has found God and mixed-sex swimming lessons offend him. Martyr considers when we should accommodate others' beliefs, and when we should take a stand.
"MARTYR is subtler and more layered than it might seem in outline, and there is a brilliance about how it puts the audience on the spot...it makes for a vivid, fully alive evening..." —The Guardian
