Table of Contents

" "A little masterpiece of power, wit and heart - powerfully expresses the absurdity of enmity, between neighbours. Pure, brilliant theatre." - Libby Purves, The Times 'Extraordinarily powerful - I kept thinking how deeply both Mikhail Bulgakov and Sean O'Casey would have appreciated its human and artistic qualities - Unreservedly recommended.' - Paul Taylor, The Independent 'This is an instructive piece which neatly draws attention to one of Europe's less widely reported scenes of political turbulence.' - Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard"
