"There's something going on at the Traverse this year. If Edinbugh's most important venue's two in-house productions are anything to go by, explicitly political work has come of age...Arriving onstage a week after the arrest of Radovan Karadzic, Fall couldn't have been more timely."

Scotland on Sunday

To make your future, do you have to murder the past?

In the aftermath of a horrific civil conflict, a new country is preparing for the mass execution of its war criminals. Kate knows nothing and everything about it. She knew one of the guilty men for 15 years and never suspected a thing.

As the city burns and the new government struggles to look credible to the rest of the world, Kate gets tragically caught up in their conspiracy.

Politics, justice and revenge collide in a tense new thriller by Zinnie Harris and directed by the Traverse’s Artistic Director Dominic Hill. Fall is the last play in a group of three individual plays that examine the transforming effects of war. Midwinter and Solstice were commissioned and performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2004 - 05. Fall is presented in association with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Zinnie Harris is a playwright and theatre director. Her stage plays include the award winning Further Than the Furthest Thing (Tron/National Theatre), Solstice & Midwinter (RSC), Julie (NTS) and Nightingale and Chase (Royal Court). As a director she has worked for the NTS, Tron Theatre and the RSC. Most recently she has been writing for screen including Spooks (BBC1) and Richard is my Boyfriend & Born with Two Mothers (Channel 4).

Dominic Hill was appointed Artistic Director of the Traverse in July 2007. His recent work has included Falstaff (Scottish Opera), A Prayer for my Daughter (Young Vic) and Peer Gynt & Scenes from an Execution (Dundee Rep where he was Artistic Director 2003 - 07).
