You have just been announced as the winner of Theatre Uncut's first ever Political Playwriting Award – congratulations! Tell us a bit about your play?

Thanks very much! The play's called two Palestinians go dogging and it very much does what it says on the tin: it's about two Palestinians who go dogging. But they're doing it in a village on the West Bank, some time in the 2020s. And they're doing it against the back drop of a Third Intifada. So the play ends up being a brash, violent comedy – and drama – which tells the story of how that uprising began, and how it ultimately came to an end.
