TOO EXPENSIVE POISON
Is it possible to see justice? Perhaps even in such a grotesque cabaret of contemporary evil it is mission impossible. Is it possible to see justice? Perhaps even in such a grotesque cabaret of contemporary evil it is mission impossible. A documentary drama reconstruction of agent Alexander Litvinenko’s murder. The life drama of a man who has stepped out of the line. He took a long time to die, because the Russian agents, obeying the orders of a certain “state’s attorney”, were totally incompetent! A story from the recent past that was not made up. It was the real events that gave words to the leading British playwright Lucy Prebble, who based the play on a book by journalist Luke Harding.

Is it possible to see justice? Perhaps even in such a grotesque cabaret of contemporary evil it is mission impossible. A documentary drama reconstruction of agent Alexander Litvinenko’s murder. The life drama of a man who has stepped out of the line. He took a long time to die, because the Russian agents, obeying the orders of a certain “state’s attorney”, were totally incompetent! A story from the recent past that was not made up. It was the real events that gave words to the leading British playwright Lucy Prebble, who based the play on a book by journalist Luke Harding.
A play about the current world of politics that the Western world wants to keep correct, but cannot resolve one nasty situation that had occurred many years ago but yet nowadays it seems more topical than ever before. Because there still is a certain beast pulling the strings. Marina is the one who strives to see justice. She had lived a complicated life, but she believed that she would grow old with her loved man. She did not. Someone had killed him. And she wants to find out what actually happened. Back then. In that famous hotel. In London. However, reality could have been even more absurd as the murderer could have actually received a medal of honour in his home country, and even to become an MP. And that was just the beginning of what we are witnessing today.
