Howard Barker Double Bill archiveLove, truth, sex and war collide in this exhilarating double bill by Howard Barker, "England's greatest living dramatist" (The Times). First, the London premiere of Barker's dark comedy The Twelfth Battle of Isonzo. Isonzo is blind, witty and 100 years old; Tenna is blind, beautiful and just 17. On the day of their wedding a battle of wits commences in which bride and groom discover the other is far more of a match than they had bargained for... Power-play abounds in this fearlessly imaginative one-act drama. Then, a timely revival of Barker's war masterpiece, Judith: A Parting From The Body. On the night before battle, Judith enters the enemy camp to kill the Assyrian general, Holofernes. Her land is at stake - but what of her heart and mind? Barker's radical reimagining of this apocryphal story lays bare the complex sacrifices of human beings at war.
