Synopsis A memorable distillation of the Faust legend. A soldier returning home meets the Devil and swaps his violin (his soul) for a book that allegedly holds the key to wealth and success. This new Arabic/English translation of The Soldier's Tale will premiere in Baghdad this autumn prior to its West End opening, and in order to reach as wide an audience as possible the company will tour to Paris, Berlin and New York.
I totally disagree with the above comments. I saw the production on Monday night and thought it was one of the most extraordinary pieces ever theatre I had seen. My guests agreed. What bravery and what superb vision. - 86.144.43.103)

Well the "Soldier's tale" was a sorry one and it just did not work for me or my guest. The idea was great with"mirror image" British and Iraqi soldiers playing simultaneously.Also the music was rather fun,expecially the Iraqi instrumentals. However the tale told in rhyming couplets sounded silly and frankly the rhymes left the tale stretched too far. It was just poor dialogue and it showed. Although the main actors did their best,special tribute to the handsome devil, they looked slightly embarassed at times. And well they might Good idea went astray. - 149.254.120.136)
