Finish school, move to the big city, chase dreams of stardom. Life is just getting going.
But then the letter arrives, and the van turns up. And everything changes.
“I have a story they don’t want me to tell.”
Lost in a world of surveillance and suspicion one man fights to hold onto who he is. Based on true events, the UK’s first Theatre Company of Sanctuary, Stand and Be Counted present an urgent and electrifying interrogation of 21st century Britain and the relentless power of hope.
A Stand and Be Counted Theatre production. Supported by Sheffield Theatres, Oldham Coliseum, Bloc Projects and 1853 Studios, with funding from Arts Council England and Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
