By Adam BraceA HighTide Production in collaboration with the National Theatre and The Bush

When a diver's going to the depths, he has to go slowly. On the way down, he stops for a minute or two, treads water. Lets his body get used to the conditions.
That's what Ammam is for contractors.
After Iraq. And before. We tread water.
When a mercenary goes missing en route to Iraq, his closest surviving friend embarks on a hunt across the post-war Middle East.
Stovepipe premiered at the HighTide Festival 08 and is an indoor promenade performance at West 12, The Broadway, Shepherds Bush W12. Patrons are advised to wear comfortable shoes and dress warmly.
