Overview
This is a story about change, how it happens, how we talk about it.
1968, London School of Economics. Three thousand students occupy a lecture hall, demanding the university cut ties with apartheid-era Rhodesia. Tensions escalate as the students fight for radical change while the administration pushes back. The world watches, waiting to see who will blink first.
2024, a cramped Camden flat. Two flatmates dive into the archives from 1968, discovering the student movement that electrified their local streets fifty years earlier. When the rent on their unsafe flat goes up again, they turn to the past to reignite their belief in the future.
Samuel Rees and Gabriele Uboldi’s play brings the most significant protest of a generation to life through the voices of those who lived it. One of the “most talked about shows from this year’s Edinburgh festivals” (The Conversation) comes to Jermyn Street Theatre for a limited run.
