Synopsis

“No man ought to be molested on account of his opinions…” (Thomas Paine)


Two interrogators struggle to find out whether a British Doctor, arrested on suspicion of terrorism, knows anything which might prevent an atrocity. But how can they possibly determine where mere talk ends, and lethal acts begin? Though the interrogators know he is the son of a successful immigrant, they know little else. And he constantly undermines them with his thoughtful anti-Western views.

Just how much free speech can there be in our new, truly globalised society?

“Riveting power”, wrote one critic. “Raises fundamental questions”, said another. “Powerful drama” (Brighton Evening Argus).

‘Only Free Men’ was recently translated by the Union of Iranian Playwrights for performance in Iran.
