Guildhall Theatre
Running Time: 2 hours - approximate, including any interval(s).
About the Event
For practical reasons, the 22nd October production of Banner Theatre's "In A Right State" has been cancelled. However, you can enjoy it on Wednesday 21st October at Belper School Theatre (DE56 0DA) by booking online www.belperartsfestival.org or emailing avkonp@gmail.com or coming on the night.
The production celebrates the struggles of past generations who fought to create the welfare state, and of current generations
campaigning to defend our services from the latest ConDem surgical attack.
In a Right State! includes dynamic stories of defiance from disability campaigners in Cardiff, NHS workers in Manchester and anti-bedroom tax campaigners in Birmingham. These interviews, interwoven with powerful, poignant songs and images of struggle, offer an antidote to the Tory blitzkrieg of cuts, privatisation and austerity.
In a Right State! is flexible and can be tailored to fit slim wallets and wide contexts, including rallies, community socials, union branch meetings and education courses.
“I simply can’t speak highly enough of Banner Theatre! A brilliant mix of music, film, humour and politics. It’s a terrific
way of reminding us why we need to keep angry, keep organising and keep fighting. Bring everyone you can, old and young -particularly young - to see this show” Jon Berry
