The Unconquered. 17 March 2007. Birnam Institute 8.00pm. Powerful poetic language, dark humour and provocative ideas build a fast moving story around a firecely intelligent young girl and her relentless refusal of the establishment. When suddenly a people's revolution breaks out and a mercenary soldier intrudes the family home, the conflict between the regime and the unconquered girl is revealed. Under the direction of Muriel Romanes (The Memory of Water) and with a striking setting designed by visual artist Keith McIntyre, an ensemble of high profile actors will draw you into a Surreal and compelling theatrical experience.
