About this Event
Word-Play by Rabiah Hussain
Directed by Philip J Morris
In the Downing Street Press Office an emergency meeting has been called. The Prime Minister has been ad-libbing on live TV (again) and his words are going viral.
There is a flurry of accusations, and demands for an apology; but as his team debate what to do next, it’s already too late. His words have found their way to dinner parties, bus journeys and newspaper columns across the nation – and not everyone is angry.
Rabiah Hussain’s play Word-Play explores how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far-reaching consequences that will last for generations. It premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, London, in 2023, directed by Nimmo Ismail.
This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
Venue: Bridewell Theatre, 14 Bride Lane EC4Y 8EQ
