Translated by William Gregory and directed by Sam Pritchard, B tells the story of Alejandra and Marcela – two revolutionaries who are planting bombs in the middle of the night.

They don’t want violence. They just want to be heard. Prison’s not much of a threat when most of your friends are inside. But José Miguel is from another generation, and he’s committed to change by any means possible.

Exploring what revolutionary violence means to two different generations, B is written on a residency with the International Department at Royal Court Theatre, and is presented as part of International Playwrights: a Genesis Foundation Project.
