Theatre
Three women. Three places. Three moments in history. One extraordinary journey.
Blending theatre, music and magic realism, A Magical Guide to Fighting Fascism follows three women across time and continents as they search for courage, connection and ways to resist oppression. Moving between the intimate and the epic, this powerful new work explores solidarity, hope and the enduring strength of ordinary people in extraordinary times.
A moving and imaginative theatrical experience that asks what we can learn from the past to shape a more just future.
