Reviews

"David Edgar is one of our few surviving writers of public plays, and The Prisoner's Dilemma continues his exploration of the reconfiguration of global politics since the fall of the Berlin Wall. .. Engrossing. " —Sunday Times

"The greatest virtue of David Edgar's enthralling new play is that it confronts the kind of intractable ethnic conflict that has blown up in the wake of the Soviet Union's demise. Edgar's erudition and appetite for major subject-matter have paid off. This must be seen. " —Daily Telegraph
