Does blood grease the wheel of history? Or does it simply dry to dust and flake away?

Jesi Bender's play Crux takes place inside Northern Ireland's HM Prison Maze where, in 1981, revolutionary Bobby Sands is on hunger strike. To distract himself from his pain, Sands contemplates the role of violence in political change, struggling with the competing philosophies of historical radicals that visit him (in some form) inside his cell. When the serendipitous death of a government leader opens up a seat in Parliament, Sands must decide what message he wants to embody, and exactly what sacrifice he wants to make.
