Perdition (play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perdition is a controversial play by Jim Allen.
It deals with a libel action in Israel a few years after the Second World War, which looks into alleged collaboration during the War between the leadership of the Zionist movement in Hungary and the Nazis.
It led to some controversy when a production at the Royal Court Theatre in London was cancelled only a short time before it was due to start.
More recently, the actor Tam Dean Burn has been involved in organising readings.
It was performed at the Gate Theatre in London in 1999.
