WORLD PREMIERE. A Royal Exchange Theatre and Bush Theatre co-production

PARLIAMENT SQUARE

  • By James Fritz. Directed by Jude Christian
  • 18 October 2017 - 28 October 2017
  • The Theatre

“How far would you go for what you believe in?”

Kat gets up one morning, leaves her family behind, and travels to London to carry out an act that will change her life and, she hopes, everyone else’s. But what are the real consequences?

James Fritz’s searingly powerful play won a Judges Award in the 2015 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting. Raw, disturbing and compassionate, it forces a confrontation with some of the most urgent questions we face. What can one individual do to effect change? And where do we choose to draw the line between absolute commitment and dangerous obsession?
