INTO THE

NUMBERS

ABOUT

Amy Molloy and Elizabeth Chan - Into the Numbers. - Arsalan Sattari Productions

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Nanking massacre, the European premiere of Into the Numbers by multi-award-winning American playwright Christopher Chen opens at the Finborough Theatre for a limited season.

 

In 2004, Iris Chang, famed author of The Rape of Nanking, a chronicle of the massacre that brought it back into public consciousness, committed suicide at the age of 36. What begins as a standard lecture and interview with the celebrated author, soon descends into a surreal nightmare. As ghosts from her research appear, she tries desperately to find order in the midst of mental chaos. 

 

Into the Numbers is a thrillingly innovative theatrical exploration of the philosophical and psychological implications of researching genocide, as well as the toll media saturation plays in the process.
