Review:
" Ashes and Diamonds make a promising entry
into the London theatre scene...trac(ing) the faultlines of sex and power both in the theatre of war and the conflict within
us...as Holofernes Jackson Wright affectingly portrays weakness and cunning "

" Firstly Remember ; We create ourselves, we do not come
made...."
The first production from ashes and diamonds was Howard Barkers short
and punchy adaptation of the (apocryphal) biblical book of Judith . On the eve of a genocide Judith arrives at
the tent of the General Holofernes
who opposes her people planning to seduce and assassinate him, only to discover
that he has already guessed her plan, wants her to succeed and is determined to make her task more difficult than she could
ever imagine....
