This play which merges gospel accounts with modern espionage is Zero Dark 30 pieces of silver. It’s sophisticated, satirical and highly recommended, says Jonty Langley
Strength. Decisive action. A willingness to do what is necessary to protect civilisation from dangerous ideologies, even if that means taking drastic measures against individuals. The charismatic politician behind the podium preaches these things, projecting a Bullingdon Club confidence, with an edge of MI5 ruthlessness. He’s telling the audience about an operation tackling dangerous extremism in the Holy Land, and the operation’s focus is on a radical preacher in Jerusalem who must either be turned or terminated.
