How To Make A Revolution
Finborough Theatre (Online Production)
IT IS difficult not to be reminded of Nicholas Kent and Richard Norton-Taylor’s verbatim plays at the now-rechristened Tricycle Theatre when watching the online premiere of How To Make A Revolution.
Kent and Co’s reconstructions used theatre to uncover the truth behind high-profile crimes of the British state such as Bloody Sunday and the murder of Stephen Lawrence.
The opening instalment of the Finborough Theatre’s new digital initiative, #FinboroughFrontier, is a forthright look at Israeli apartheid which as its real-life protagonist, Issa Amro, reminds us is also a skeleton in the closet of the British government.
Blurring the lines between theatre and documentary we’re invited to step inside the world of Amro and experience the life of a human rights defender in Occupied Palestine.
