David Greig’s urgent new play asking how far forgiveness will stretch in the face of atrocity returns to the Young Vic following a successful run in 2013.

Featuring local choirs and a soaring soundtrack, The Events tells a tale of tragedy, obsession and our destructive desire to fathom the unfathomable.

Greig’s recent plays include Midsummer, Dunsinane, The Monster In The Hall and The Strange Undoing Of Prudencia Hart. He also wrote the book for new musical Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, which is currently playing at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane.
