Book excerpt: In 2005 Israel invaded Lebanon after rebels randomly fired missiles into Israeli territory. The response from Israel was to flatten everything until the rebels responsible were obliterated. The Irish journalist, Philip Boucher-Hayes covered the story and reported back to RTE Radio One. The Repeated Bombing of Philip Boucher-Hayes combines this outrageous situation with Shakespeare's Macbeth to create a satirical farce, an unrelenting commentary on the idiocy of war. Described by one member of the audience as "profoundly ridiculous and ridiculously profound", The Repeated Bombing of Philip Boucher-Hayes features a large cast of whacky characters set in the war zone of the Lebanon.
