Pentecost
by David Edgar
directed by Andrew McGinn

In a Balkan country on the edge of Europe, a mysterious church fresco has been discovered which may rewrite the history of art across the East-West divide. Gabriella Pecs, curator of the national museum, enlists Oliver Davenport, an English art historian, to help prove the fresco’s authenticity. Catholic, Orthodox and nationalist interests compete to possess it. In the midst of the controversy, a desperate multi-national group of refugees bursts into the church demanding asylum at gunpoint. One last hostage, the fresco, stands alone.
