Circle Mirror Transformation

London Bridge stabbings, 2017. 8 dead, 48 injured, millions around the world affected. In these challenging times of war and fear, how do we choose to respond?

A small group of people from different cultures, nationalities and gender identities, find their way through life in London to join a weekly community theatre class. Their lives intersect, their stories become voiced and their secrets revealed, creating a microcosmos that allows them to ignore the reality of the atrocities in their own city.

A piece of meta-theatre in which a group of actors take on the roles of participants in a theatre class to be ‘transformed’. What is our role as audience members, sitting outside of ‘their new reality’ looking at them ?

. . . A play about the power of community theatre on people’s lives.
