Rewritten in the light of current events
Whistleblower the story of Edward Snowden returns. Hero or Traitor? Edward Snowden is holed up in a Hong Kong hotel. He has left Hawaii, abandoned paradise, for a life on the run. Tortured by thoughts of his girlfriend, his mother and father and the fate of other whistleblowers in prison, he waits. But will the CIA or the National Security Agency find him first?
`Whistleblower is always watchable. Events unfold with a thriller-like momentum…’ Lyn Gardner The Guardian 11 July 2014
`What’s impressive is the theatrical ballsiness of this London fringe production’ The Times 11 July 2014
‘Glad to see Whistleblower is coming back. It sticks closely to the events as they unfolded in Hong Kong and does justice to Edward Snowden’s revelations about the scale of state surveillance.’ Ewen MacAskill the journalist who broke the story for the Guardian.
Snowden `should be hanged by his neck until he is dead’. Former CIA Director James Woolsey.
`The surveillance carried out by the U.S. Intelligence services is mass, indiscriminate surveillance.’ European Court of Justice September 2015
