What can one individual do to effect change? And where do we choose to draw the line between absolute commitment and dangerous obsession?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliament Square\u201d won the Judges\u2019 Award in the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. It had its world premiere on the main stage at Manchester\u2019s Royal Exchange Theatre in 2017, before transferring to the Bush Theatre, London.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote \u2018Parliament Square\u2019 in 2015. By the time it was first staged at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester in October 2017, we were living in the aftermath of two of the most unstable and divided years in the United Kingdom\u2019s recent political history, as two general elections and the Brexit referendum split the country in two. It is, in a way, an uncertain play for uncertain times,\u201d Fritz has said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn writing the play, I wanted to explore questions that feel increasingly urgent in today\u2019s political climate. How far should we be willing to go to fight injustice? And where does our true responsibility lie: to ourselves, to our family, or to humanity in general?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Fritz lives in London and graduated from the Central School of Speech and Drama with an MA in writing for stage and broadcast media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: Front cover of the Persian translation of James Fritz\u2019s play \u201cParliament Square\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>MMS\/YAW\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TEHRAN \u2013 A Persian translation of James Fritz\u2019s 2015 play \u201cParliament Square\u201d has been published in Persian.
