  • Asher Wyndham: Signature Photo

    This is a compelling play from the first scene to the last. The crisis of consciousness for this photojournalist raises so many questions about journalism, art, and our responses to tragedy.
    Bucklin balances so many characters and perspectives, covering so much ground - numerous wars - it's astonishing.
    This is difficult theatre - and that's a compliment.
    Highly recommended for anyone interested in political or tragic theatre.
