Testing the Echo

by David Edgar

Testing the Echo is a provocative and often satirical look at the overwhelming difficulty of defining what it is to be British. It asks crucial questions about whether fundamentalist Muslims can ever be truly assimilated into a society whose values and assumptions are so very different from their own. David Edgar is best known for his adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby and is the author of Pentecost.
