The Prisoner’s Dilemma Opens at Burning Coal
The American professional premiere of David Edgar’s Prisoner’s Dilemma begins the 2008-2009 season at Burning Coal Theatre tonight. The play is directed by Jerome Davis, Burning Coal’s Artistic Director and concentrates on the period of time between the fall of the Berlin Wall and September 11th, 2001. How fitting that it makes its US premiere, seven years later on September 11th, 2008. During rehearsals Wednesday night, I sat down with both Davis and Edgar, who explained the history of the play and its current incarnation which explores the “ethics of torture”.
