THE STAGE (October 5th 2007). Review by Barbara Lewis THE JUST Long before today’s suicide bombers, Nobel prize-winning existentialist Albert Camus explored the idea of dying for a cause and confronted the possibility it was ultimately a futile act. [In] Benjamin Polya’s fresh, new version of Camus’ drama of moral struggle, [...] the characters’ inner agony is very physically and convincingly expressed. full article at: http://www.thestage.co.uk/reviews/review.php/18433/the-just FRINGE REPORT (October 2007). Review by Bo Wilson THE JUST Alinka Wright is eminently watchable as Dora. [...] James Sobol Kelly also stands out as damaged, dangerous Stepan, a fictional member of the group seeking revenge after being tortured by the secret police. Andrew James Storey, as the group's leader Boria Annenkov, shows a shocking, ugly side to his otherwise controlled character. full article avaible at: http://www.fringereport.com/0710thejust.php FIRST ACT MAGAZINE issue 11 (October 2007). Article by Richard Hodkinson: CAMUS FOR TROUBLED TIMES
full article available at:Dan Horrigan, the show's director [...] "We think that the new version accommodates the 21st Century view. It’s not a black and white argument, and we include some historical facts that didn’t make it into Camus’ play in order to encourage our audience to view the dilemma as something the characters agonise over. "These characters are appalled by the choices they have to make, they’re living in a kind of hell, so they’re already suffering for the crime they’re about to commit. So the new version of the play had to make sure that an audience living today could empathise with those dilemmas.” http://www.firstactmagazine.com/Magazines/FirstActIssue011.pdf with
