Description

She is a young woman in a yellow dress. She has been shot by the police. As a video goes viral, a revolution begins to stir.

Ali and Leyla are panicking – they uploaded the footage and now the authorities are after them. Across town, Yasmin is desperate to know if her missing mother is still alive. Halfway around the world, a woman in London wants to help. As a tornado of dissent and violence spreads, everyone's life is going to change.

A startlingly theatrical look at what happens when it all kicks off, Elinor Cook's play Image of an Unknown Young Woman premiered at the Gate Theatre, London, in June 2015.
