The Bacchus Players is proud to present three selections from Mark Ravenhill's Shoot/ Get Treasure/ Repeat, an epic cycle of sixteen plays exploring the personal and political effects of war and terrorism on modern life. Although this topic is sometimes difficult to confront, it is especially relevant in light of recent events, both abroad and close to home.
The plays that make up Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat began life at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, winning a Fringe First award, and the Jack TinkerSpirit of the Fringe award. They form a collage of very different scenes, with each taking its title from a classic work.
The cycle of plays that comprise Shoot/Get Treasure/Repeat were written to be performed as either ensemble pieces or stand-alone scenes. The Bacchus Players will present three plays from the cycle, "Women of Troy"; "Crime and Punishment"; and "Yesterday, An Incident Occurred".
