Bracken Moor

Bracken Moor
He calls me sometimes. Usually in the dark hours of the morning. Mummy' he cries. Where are you? Come and find me.' After years apart, two families come together to rediscover their lost friendship. Instead, they conjure up the spirit of a buried tragedy. Set against the economic crisis of the 1930s, this boldly theatrical tale of grief and denial by Alexi Kaye Campbell (the Pride, Apologia, the Faith Machine) is vividly brought to life by Shared experience

Greece

Synopsis:
International writers join up with their British counterparts to bring their experiences to the Royal Court. What is life really like for those living in todays austerity. Daily dispatches from Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Spain will invade the Jerwood theatre Upstairs. "With unemployment reaching almost 30% in Greece, soup kitchens springing up and immigrants being physically assaulted by Neo-Nazis on a regular basis it seems like the right time to put the lives of those affected by the eurozone crisis centre-stage at the Royal Court. Collaborating with writers from the countries on the frontline of austerity and using a variety of theatrical forms we will bring the PIIGS into the heart of London for a week of tragedy, comedy and rage" - Alexi Kaye Campbell, Playwright
