“Powerful. Important. Moving.” Ben Jamal  (Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign)

A collection of short political plays in response to warnings that artists shouldn’t be political.

Phil and Nina have contributed a short piece to this urgent evening of theatre and activism now transferring to Edinburgh International Festival.

We are living through a moment of horror. Brutality abroad in Palestine and the Global South is justified or ignored by our own government, while new police powers suppress protest at home. Globally far-right movements are growing and so too are Defence budgets. There is much to talk about.

Even the Arts Council started warning that ‘political statements’ made by individuals linked to an organisation can cause ‘reputational risk’, breaching funding agreements. Some are silenced; some are unwilling to speak.
