Description: 'Three Kingdoms' is a blackly entertaining and unsettling detective story-cum-parable about the devil in us all, international human trafficking and the changing state of Europe. Questioning and undermining not just tenets about the nature of Europe with its old and new borders, it also explodes moral certainties. With good and evil presented not as polarised forces but as disturbingly shifting, overlapping and contradictory, the play provocatively unbalances convictions of truth, ethical codes, violence and justice. 'Three Kingdoms' was premiered in Tallinn at Teater NO99 in Estonia in September 2011.
