Arcola Theatre announces new season

The Arcola Theatre's new season is to feature two new plays from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory writer David Greig, Emmy Award-winning Ron Hutchinson and journalist Christina Lamb.

Drones, Baby, Drones will feature two plays, This Tuesday and The Kid which both look at drone warfare. Nicholas Kent directs Hutchinson and Lamb's This Tuesday which focuses on the individual decisions a CIA director, a White House advisor and a Pentagon General are forced to take at 5am in the morning. Greig's The Kid will be directed by Mehmet Ergen and looks at what happens when a Hellfire missile lands on a wedding party in Pakistan.

Elsewhere in the season, Henry Naylor's Angel will run between 21 November and 23 December. The piece is set in Syria in 2014 and follows a legendary woman sniper. The show ran in Edinburgh this year to strong reviews including one from WhatsOnStage's Sarah Crompton.

Thebes Land, by Sergio Blanco, stars Trevor White and Alex Austin and looks closely at the crime of patricide. The show has on-stage participation from Martin Santos, who has been convicted of patricide, and is staged inside a large protective cage. The show runs from 30 November to 23 December.

The already announced The Island Nation runs 29 October to 19 November and Tomorrow I Was Always A Lion runs from 19 to 29 October.
