Described as two works that probe behind the scenes of America's controversial drone wars whilst asking what they will mean for our future, this world premiere will be directed by Nicolas Kent and Mehmet Ergen.

In The Kid by David Greig it's Wednesday. A missile hits a wedding in Pakistan. 7000 miles away, two drone operators begin their celebration. Pushing the button was the start. If only it was the end...
