Ali and Leyla are panicking – they uploaded the footage and now the authorities are after them. Across town, Yasmin is desperate to know if her missing mother is still alive. Halfway around the world, a woman in London wants to help. As a tornado of dissent and violence spreads, everyone's life is going to change.
A startlingly theatrical look at what happens when it all kicks off, Elinor Cook's play Image of an Unknown Young Woman premiered at the Gate Theatre, London, in June 2015.
REVIEWS:
"A bold examination of violence and revolution… a smart, gripping look at what grabs our attention and at our unacknowledged capacity for rage and violence."
The Guardian
"Brimming with ideas… a fascinating, troubling mirror image of us."
Time Out
"Angry, intelligent and savagely funny."
The Times
"Grabs its audience by the throat and doesn't let go… highly emotive, potently theatrical, shot through a with a dark wit."
The Stage
"Punchy and tense… it crackles with anger, emotion and razor-sharp social commentary."
