The article was published on the website officiallondontheatre.co.uk on March 27, 2013. This article is about the play in the Young Vic's Maria theatre where a sense of violence and terror will take place.

The main idea of the article is that and new David Greig play “The Events” will all delve into dark themes surrounding extreme actions of control and brutality. Firstly, internationally acclaimed company Belarus Free Theatre blends testimonies from lawyers, executioners, inmates and their families with Shakespearean extracts, music and dance to create Trash Cuisine. Secondly, “The Secret Agent” is inspired by Joseph Conrad's classic novel, a political thriller about a spy pressured to blow up the Greenwich Observatory by a foreign power to provoke the UK government into passing repressive legislation. Thirdly, “The Events” tells a testing story about a politically and racially motivated mass murder and explores the limits of human empathy and our need to understand extreme acts of violence.

Moreover, speaking about the trio of shows, Young Vic Artistic Director David Lan said that he was delighted to announced three new shows in the Maria, all with strong political themes. In addition to, violence underpins our world.

The author reports that by contrast, Fevered Sleep's acclaimed show for three to five-year-olds, Brilliant, returns to the venue from 3 to 13 July, with its dreamlike world made of light.

The author comes to the conclusion that the newly announced shows join a line up of productions at the Waterloo venue.

To my mind, it’s worth having the experience of co-production. It helps to develop different kinds of theatres.
