Committed is a work of historical fiction about the last two days of the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh's life before his murder.
Van Gogh worked with the Somali-born writer and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the short film, Submission (2004), which exposed the treatment of women, and resulted in an outrage from the Dutch Muslim community.
He was murdered in November of 2004.
The play explores the collision of an artist's radical temperament and unyielding vision with modern political realities and the inevitable tragedy when uncompromising values clash.
