dissent Tickets

In this dark dystopian play, step into a futuristic world where the state sponsors air conditioning and gives the people free cigarettes. In return, they comply. They work hard, go home, relax, then do the same thing over and over again, unquestioningly. The rules are simple: stick with the system and survive, or question the status quo and find yourself in trouble. This clever, powerful piece of drama explores the limit of the darkest human instincts, and our capacity to resist the urge for freedom in the face of oppression.

The world premiere of dissent, an explosive new play about humanity's capacity for monstrous behaviour, is written and directed by Olivier and BAFTA award-winner debbie tucker green, a unique voice in modern British theatre with a politically informed style and an impressive repertoire of work including ear for eye, stoning mary, and dirty butterfly. This razor-sharp, timely play challenges us to question society and systemic oppression in a way that feels harrowingly relevant to our modern world.
