This Thursday, we'll be bringing this lovely show to St Nicholas Priory, in Exeter. And, as ever, it'll be adapted to celebrate local radical history and feature some guest artists from the area. The amazing location is an added bonus. 1/2

Hi all!
You might like to know about this project, if you’re in the Exeter area.
It’s a history of English protest told through folk music, and featuring local guest artists. Celebrate radical English history with a song, a dance, and maybe the start of the revolution!
Booking links etc below.

Dear Angela Raynor, the problem isn’t immigration, we all have a right to flee poverty or persecution. It’s racism, lies, ignorance, cynical politicians, well-organised fascists, an elitist visa system and an inhumane asylum process, compounded by lack of legal routes and decent accommodation.

So, violent racists were threatening asylum seekers in a hotel in Epping, which was my local council growing up, and today they are showing up in Tower Hamlets, where I live. I know my connection to these places is irrelevant, but it does bring home how scarily close and present this danger is.

I’ve always said I never perform on stage unless I have a violin under my chin, but live video creation as part of Daedalus Theatre’s Dysbiosis project turns out to be quite a piece of physical theatre! Photos from our work-in-progress showing at the Omnibus Theatre last week by Devika Bilimoria.
