Notes: | part of Tormented Minds | |||||
| The play is set in a special police unit in an unnamed country where gender-specific torture is used to humiliate, control and exert power over female 'political prisoners'. This country has a healthy tourist industry, despite its human rights atrocities, and is also seeking to secure trade deals. The play explores the duplicity of Western countries when dealing with and selling torture equipment to regimes that they know to be involved in human rights abuses. By highlighting the set patterns of recruitment that are used when torturers are employed, it also aims to dispel the myth that torturers are a small group of people who are 'born evil'. Shading the Crime uncomfortably implies that we are all potentially capable of both dehumanizing acts and dehumanisation under certain extreme circumstances, and that many people avoid voicing their objections to human rights abuse due to opportunities for financial reward, or because a country offers a desirable holiday destination. We mentally 'shade out the crime'. | |||||
