'This is story telling at its best' --Time Out
'...an emotionally explosive drama...' --The Guardian
'Dyer shows us a suited Keenan - going about the lethal business of installing a bomb beneath a hotel bath. Interwoven with these scenes are exchanges - 20 years later - between Elizabeth and her impatient teenage daughter : their holiday plans are blown apart when a phone call summons Elizabeth to meet her dad's killer. A third strand shows us the younger Elizabeth and her preoccupied father snatching moments together on the eve of the bombing. By using a fractured time-scheme, Dyer hardwires the tension so that it builds to a double-climax - the eventual encounter between first-hand perpetrator and second-generation victim precedes the long-awaited explosion. Everything takes place on a violently angled, debris-strewn stage: it's as if, after all these years, the dust still hasn't settled. 'But he was my daddy,' Elizabeth says, simply, in the face of the IRA man's convoluted rationale; that drop of frozen innocence could melt the hardest heart. ' --The Telegraph
Product Description
A PLAY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: At sixteen, she was shell-shocked and caught in the blast. Now, the bomber's waiting on the other side of the door. 'The Bomb' is a journey into the minds of two extraordinary people - one who destroys lives, the other who forgives the unforgivable. The title is inspired by Jo Berry, whose father was killed in the 1984 Brighton Bomb and Patrick Magee who planted that bomb. In 2000, they met for the first time to promote understanding and conflict resolution. They have continued their dialogue ever since.
