Playing With Fire

by David Edgar

What begins as a metro-versus-retro comedy of misunderstanding soon becomes a chilling drama about multicultural Britain. Racial tensions soar and good intentions have fatal consequences. An epic and provocative State of the Nation play, published alongside the premiere at the National Theatre.

Its an interesting play but nothing special. Is very much a post millenium play! 3 1/2 stars.
