Argonaut Theatre

A geopolitical thriller about desperation, detachment and drones.

In a small Nevada town, out-of-work plumber Chris stumbles across Josh, a charity worker exposing the truth behind US drone strikes in Syria and Iraq. Her fascination with his world and determination to win his approval sends her down a path towards obsession and the darkest of ethical dilemmas.

Action at a Distance is a dark, thrilling play about the relationship between the citizen and the nation in which they live, Obama’s complicated legacy, and how far we’re willing to bend the rules of moral behaviour to help the ones we love.
