BANG, BANG, BANG
4-8 OCT 2011
STUDIO PERFORMANCE
“You get a cook, a cleaner, a driver and you get paid. I’ll be watching out for you.”
A seasoned humanitarian worker and her idealistic young colleague get ready for a trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo. For Mathilde it’s an induction into a life less ordinary. For Sadhbh it’s back to madness and chaos away from her lover and London – exactly as she likes it. But while Mathilde lets off steam with a photographer and a spliff, Sadhbh has her own encounter: tea with a smart, brutal young warlord she’s investigating. Or is it the other way round?
Stella Feehily brings her trademark wit and emotional insight to this revealing new play that goes behind the public face of charities, journalists and NGOs. Bang Bang Bang is directed by Out of Joint’s legendary Artistic Director Max Stafford-Clark, who received a Special Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s TMA Awards. Contains strong language and violent scenes.
Presented by Out of Joint; Curve, Leicester; The Octagon, Bolton; The Royal Court; and Salisbury Playhouse.

The Public Reviews
“Witty, warm and human”
What's On Stage website
“A talented international cast, complex characters and a demanding storyline… Stafford-Clark delivers a taut show and uses Andy Smith’s relentless backing music to drive the production excitingly forward and maintain the atmosphere of constant peril… Wonderful writing… Orla Fitzgerald suggests that, despite her maturity and courage, Sadhbh is a damaged woman who may be using the challenges of her humanitarian work to avoid emotional engagement. It is a fearless and riveting performance… Bang Bang Bang is Stella Feehily’s best work to date”
