'They ask us, when we sign up, "What do you want to do for the Capital State?" And we reply, "Fight. Help. Assist. Do some good." Do some GOOD. That's so horrific it's funny.'
And we believe we're helping, we really do. But we've been 'helping' people for thousands of years and the divided land has stayed divided.
We're still at war.
'ACEDIA' Noun, from Greek akedia, apathetic listlessness, a moral failing.
Jacob doesn't know why he's here. He's been at war for 6 years, but nobody will tell him why. The Moon is upstairs and he wants so desperately to talk to her, but they just won't let him. Will she be his salvation?
The Acedian Pirates challenges our understanding of mythology, and forces us to ask vital questions about military occupation.
Shortlisted for the inaugural Theatre503 Playwrighting Award 2014, The Acedian Pirates had its world premiere at Theatre 503 in 2016.
'Very funny and very powerful' Hilary Mantel
