Decade (play)

Decade is a 2011 play by John Logan, Lynn Nottage, and eighteen other writers commemorating the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The play is a compilation of twenty individual, shorter plays that combine to form the story's overarching narrative.[1] Its structure is drawn from the work of the choreographer Pina Bausch[citation needed] and it involves a cast of 12.

The play was commissioned by director Rupert Goold for his company, Headlong.[2] It premièred in St Katharine Docks (the site of London's World Trade Centre) and was performed from 1 September to 15 October 2011, in a production starring Lia Williams and directed by Goold.[3] The production received praise for its treatment of the subject material and Goold's direction.[2][4]
