ABOUT

A group of campaigners in Hulme, Manchester, fight a tenacious battle to defend their community against predatory developers and their backers on the council. Based on official documents and interviews with activists, this documentary play combines heartfelt performances and original music to show a community challenging a system rigged in favour of the powerful.

Touring as Script in Hand performance in Autumn 2025.
