A new play at the Finborough Theatre next month will mark the centenary
of the Armenian Genocide.
Written by artistic director Neil McPherson, I Wish To Die Singing
– Voices From The Armenian Genocide is billed as “a controversial
documentary drama uncovering the forgotten secrets and atrocities of
a denied genocide.”
Directed by Tommo Fowler, it runs from 21 April to 16 May 2015.
Following several characters through these traumatic events, the play
includes “eye-witness reportage, images, music, poetry from Armenia’s
greatest poets, and verbatim survivors testimonies”.
The cast comprises Kate Binchy, Jilly Bond, Bevan Celestine, Siu-See
Hung, Tamar Karabetyan, Tom Marshall and Simon Yadoo.
I Wish To Die Singing is part of the Finborough’s occasional The
Great War 100 series of plays written about, or during, the conflict.
