Fundamentalism and tolerance clash in Martyr, a funny, provocative play by leading German playwright, Marius von Mayenburg.
Martyr considers how far we should go in accommodating another’s faith, and when we should take a stand for our own opposing beliefs.
Benjamin won’t do swimming at school. His mother thinks it’s drugs or he has body issues. But Benjamin has found God and mixed-sex swimming lessons offend him.
This topical production follows Actors Touring Company’s highly acclaimed The Events, seen at the Young Vic last year.
Martyr is suitable for everyone aged 15 and over. Contains some strong language and nudity.
