by Bertrand Lesca & Nasi Voutsas
“Clowning turned nasty and the crockery started to fly in Bertrand Lesca and Nasi Voutsas’s brilliantly conceived, absurd two-hander that takes its name from the much fought over ancient Syrian city. 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, The Guardian
“ The duo who created euro house shift from comic to tragic in a brilliant piece that reflects on Syria and the breakdown of relationships.”
