Recenzii

'Eldridge has always been the most muscular of writers and in this bold and ambitious play he swaps Basildon for the Holy Land in a piece whose epic swagger and salty humour are ideally suited to the Globe'
'The play is an epic that sweeps all before it'
'It is a remarkable feat of narrative compression'
'A fundamental truth in matters of power, politics and sins on all sides committed in the name of religion and righteousness'
Packed with big ideas and terrible war crimes
. . . Eldridge is timely and bang up to date . . .
. . . this is a play whose charm resides in bold gesture . . .
. . . David Eldgridge is getting to grips with the complex reasons our world . . . looks the way it does today. . . . there's no denying Eldridge's ambition.
. . . fantastically ambitious . . . I was gripped. . . . make no mistake that Holy Warriors is a brave, prodigious and rewarding experience.
