Turning to the Camera

by Simon Jackson

A tightly-written, fact-based thriller based on the true account of the defenestration of the ex-head of Egypt's secret service in London. A paparazzo claims to have witnessed a terrifying murder. As he is being interrogated about his version of events, you glimpse into the state of his mind through filmic elements projected on giant screens. Did he witness an act of terrorism? Is he involved? Or is he just a fantasist?

The Guardian chose Turning to the Camera as its 'Pick of the Week' for theatre in Scotland for the week starting 26 November 2011. It is 'tightly-plotted with just the right number of twists and turns... a sharply-focused and well-developed thriller... it is certainly an impressive showcase for (Jackson's) talents.'
