'"I wasn't sure what to prepare. So there's a little bit of wine and a little bit of cheese. But given that you're all members of the Party, I tried making some punch with borscht and vodka instead of champagne. As far as the wine goes, don't worry, it's all red. Claret. I hope you enjoy yourselves."

Written for NIDA by award-winning playwright, Ben Ellis, and under the direction London's Theatre503 co-artistic director Tim Roseman, Story of the Red Mountains explores politics, isolation and violence.'
