This is an adaptation for theatre of the book No Heroes, No Monsters 2024 (original title: I skuggan av Assange 2021), detailing experiences at the hands of Julian Assange.

SETTING

The play spans over a nine-year period. Due to the minimalistic style, locations vary and quickly change. Annas apartment remains one of the few distinguished locations. The effect is to give the impression that we are almost in Annas head, viewing her fragmented memories as she recalls them.

STAGING

Minimal set and props. The main furniture comes from the apartment set, but all of this is wheeled on and off. An apron or platform at the front of the stage is needed, so that the action can continue, even if the curtains are drawn.

LIGHTING

Lighting is key, but basic in this play. Strategically placed spotlights and a range of coloured hues is all that is required.

MUSIC

The play includes a predominately classical soundtrack from mainly female composers. As it stands, all music is currently royalty free.
