Martyr, Unicorn Theatre, London, review: Distressing, provocative and horribly funny
Benjamin now flatly refuses to do swimming at school. Normal adolescent body issues? If only. The teenage protagonist of Marius von Mayenburg's provocative, horribly funny and distressing play has found God. The "shameless mingling of the sexes" in co-ed swimming lessons is part of the "depravity" on which Benjamin (alarmingly well-played by Daniel O'Keefe) has declared a holy war.
