Why watch 9 Circles?
- 9 Circles is a gripping story based on the crimes committed by a repatriated US Army.
- The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the US and its allies has been criticized by many for its brutality and ruthlessness. This play offers a disturbing version of what war turns people into.
- In 9 Circles, playwright Bill Cain takes the audience on an introspective journey through the eyes of a US soldier.
- Instead of going after the low-hanging fruit by vilifying the protagonist, 9 Circles presents a more nuanced take on the issue.
- The play is coming to London’s Park Theatre for a limited period so book 9 Circles play tickets whilst availability lasts.
Bill Cain, who is a Jesuit priest besides being a playwright, is a veteran when it comes to dealing with subjects involving moral conflicts. Before writing 9 Circles, he wrote the TV series Nothing Sacred, depicting life in a Catholic parish trying to come to terms with modernity. A face-off between empathy and cold-bloodedness in 9 Circles is right up his alley. A favorite among critics, Cain has been praised by The New York Times for his ‘impish humor.’ This production of the play stars David Calvitto in the lead role, who appeared in 12 Angry Men’s run on the West End. His other credits include a production of Shawshank Redemption, The Event, and The Odd Couple. Supporting him in the cast are Samara Neely-Cohen, who comes with a wide variety of theatre experience in the US, and Joshua Collins, who reprises his role from the off-Broadway production of 9 Circles. Guy Masterson, who won an Olivier award for directing The Shark Is Broken, helms this production with aplomb. Make haste and book 9 Circles play tickets now to get the best seats.
Storyline
9 Circles is made up of nine scenes that allude to the nine concentric circles of terror described in Dante’s 14th-century poem Inferno. The protagonist Daniel Reeves, who initially comes across as a freedom fries-munching American soldier, is about to be discharged from the army. While it’s easy to write him off as another red, white, and blue Yank, there are hints of some underlying sensitivity behind his Southern Accent.
Things take a wild turn in Reeves’ life, as he’s accused of raping a minor and murdering innocents in Iraq. While the trials continue in the court, there’s a lawyer and a pastor who want to get Reeves back on the path of retrospection and self-discovery. The play takes the horrific topic of war crimes and presents them with a sophistication that’s commendable. Instead of condemning Reeves as the devil, Cain presents arguments that propose how he is a victim of circumstances himself. Do not miss your chance to watch this tense psychological thriller.
