“I Wish to Die Singing” at Finborough Theatre
Supported by AGCCC UK
A play Devised by Neil McPherson, directed by Tommo Fowler
The world premiere - “Who, after all, today remembers the annihilation of the Armenians?” – Adolf
Hitler, 1939. Commemorating the centenary of the Armenian genocide, the world premiere of a
documentary drama. "On the night of Saturday, April 24th 1915, the Armenians of Constantinople
were snoring in a calm sleep – exhausted from their Easter celebrations – while in the Central Police
Station a secret project was in motion..." The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the 20th
century, perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish Government against the Armenians, a Christian
minority in a Muslim state. One and a half million people died. The word 'genocide' itself was
invented by Raphael Lemkin in 1943 to describe the events of 1915. Adolf Hitler used the Armenian
Genocide as a direct inspiration for the Holocaust during the Second World War. To this day, the
Turkish government refuses to admit that any genocide ever took place. Commemorating the exact
centenary of the deportations that began the Armenian Genocide, I Wish To Die Singing –
Voices From The Armenian Genocide is a controversial documentary drama uncovering the
forgotten secrets and atrocities of a denied genocide – featuring eye-witness reportage, images,
music, poetry from Armenia's greatest poets, and verbatim survivors testimonies from one of
the greatest historical injustices of all time.

Martyrs will take place in Holy Etchmiadzin on the

expected to end at 19:15 (symbolising the year of
the Genocide).
It was decided that the Church bells of the Mother
See of Holy Etchmiadzin and those of the Great
House of Cilicia will resound simultaneously
ringing 100 times commemorating the 100th
anniversary of the Genocide. They jointly request
that all our churches across Armenia and the
Diaspora to arrange for their church bells to ring in
every parish at Yerevan-time 19:15 (i.e. 16:15
London time).
St Yeghiche Armenian Church will be
broadcasting live; starting at 1:15-4:15 London
time and at the end will be ringing its bells 100
times. Similarly, we are approaching as many
Christian and Oriental Churches to join in this
special ceremony, provided that it does not
interfere with their scheduled program.
Finally, at the conclusion of the 100 rings of the
bells, the following two hymns will be sung
“Soorp, Soorp” and “Hayr Mer” in Holy
Etchmiadzin and the Great House of Cilicia. If
possible, please coordinate your local choirs to
sing these hymns at the conclusion of the ringing
of the bells.

Dear Reader
Thank you for taking the time to review the Centenary events
organised by AGCCC UK.
Further events are in the pipeline and will be publicised in future
updates.
We would greatly appreciate your support in every sense. The
total cost of the program will be around £200,000. We rely on
the generosity of our supporters to help us realise our
objectives.
The Turkish government has been actively working to divert the
attention of the World Community from focusing on the
Centenary of the Armenian Genocide to the commemorations at
Gallipoli, by their cynical act of changing the traditional date for
commemorations from 25th to 24
th April, the International Day of
commemoration of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the
Ottoman Empire.
