audiobook Scrape off the Black (Oberon Modern Playwrights) by Tunde Ikoli in Arts-Photography

Description

May is an idealist. Shersquo;s fighting for a better world and has sacrificed more than most. So when the old regime is destroyed; she is rewarded with a job as a prison photographer.But as the enemy pass one by one before her unflinching lens - both strange and familiar faces - can they shake her belief in this world she helped to create?Inspired by the work of the photographer Nhem En; who photographed the inmates of the Tuol Sleng prison in Cambodia under the rule of the Khmer Rouge; and by painter Van Nath who painted Pol Pot and was one of the only seven survivors of Tuol Sleng; playwright Sarah Grochala draws on prison records and interviews with both prisoners and Khmer Rouge cadres to create a startling and affecting drama.S-27 won the first Protect The Human Playwriting Competition in 2007; run by iceandfire in conjunction with Amnesty International and Soho Theatre; and was in production at the Finborough Theatre in June 2009.
