The Panel (NHB Modern Plays)

by Zinne Harris

Overview

The last candidate has just left the room and the door is shut. The clock is ticking, there's a train to catch, and the panel must decide who to appoint. But what is really motivating them, and whose agenda will prevail?

This play was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, in 2010 as part of the Women, Power & Politics season.

'razor-sharp satire' - Evening Standard
