Algebra Of Freedom, The

Synopsis:
the play is called the Algebra of Freedom, and it's certainly structured around a powerful equation, with two men standing on either side of it. In the first scene of this new production from 7:84 Scotland -written for the company by fast-rising young British playwright, poet and artist Raman Mundair -we meet Jack and Tony, two British policemen who have been involved in a hasty, wrongful killing, akin to the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell underground station in 2005. Jack, the older man, has put the whole experience behind him, and is trying to tie up the loose ends by submitting a report that shows the police action in a positive light, but Tony is literally haunted by the incident, coming home every night to find the ghost of the dead man singing, cooking and sashaying around his lonely flat like the shadow of a partner that might have been. On the other side of the equation, meanwhile, we find Parvez -a young British Asian guy mourning the death of his estranged wife in a violent incident in Palestine - and his friend Waheed, who is trying to involve him in an increasingly violent strain of radical Islamist activity. He, too, is haunted. the restless spirit of his wife - a young woman of strong Muslim faith -constantly warns him against Waheed's perversion of Koranic teaching, and teases him back towards her own love of life. Both men are subjected to powerful male pressures to show loyalty towards the group to which they belong. Jack tells Tony that unquestioning loyalty to fellow-officers is a fundamental value of the police force, and taunts him with being gay when he fails to conform. Waheed tells Parvez that his willingness to become involved in violent action against the West is a test of his manhood. And when they finally meet - by chance, when Parvez picks Tony up in the late-night taxi he drives for a living - it's as if both briefly glimpse in the other a faint hope of forgiveness, or redemption, or new life.
