Landscape with Weapon

To his family’s horror, Ned reveals he’s the brains behind a new military drone technology so sophisticated, so extraordinary, it will revolutionise the nature of warfare. It’s only when the Ministry of Defence demands intellectual ownership that Ned begins to question himself, resisting the might of the weapons industry with frightening consequences.

Joe Penhall’s brilliant 2007 play is more prescient than ever, given today’s war in Ukraine and the unprecedented use of drones. This compelling work will leave the audience questioning the moral justification of using science to kill.
