Theatre Uncut – Preveiw

On Saturday 23rd November Metal Peterborough will play host to Theatre Uncut…

“Theatre Uncut isn’t just a performance, it’s an idea: that theatre can be immediately responsive to world events, engender discussion and effect change.” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian, Theatre Uncut was created to get people thinking, talking and taking action.

The idea is simple. Playwrights are asked to write brand new short plays in response to the current political situation. These scripts are then made available for anyone to perform anywhere rights free for a limited period creating the Theatre Uncut Festival of Mass Action.
