Troublesome People – Buxton
Wed 22nd July, 2015 - Sun 26th July, 2015
Troublesome People is a new play from UK-based US writer Jill Haas, set during the Second World War but pertinent in today’s climate, as governments and media fixate on migrants, refugees and other ‘troublesome people’.
Haas spotlights a disparate group affected by the war, but not because they fought in it. Ordered to semi-internment on a farm on a barbed wire-fenced Isle of Man, married conscientious objectors, a German boy and a wealthy German-Jewish woman fleeing Nazi persecution struggle to adapt to lives restricted by their wartime status.
Skilfully directed by (Veggies crew member) Frank Simms of Derby-based Ashrow Theatre, Troublesome People, one of all too few plays about conscientious objection to war, is touring Brighton, Buxton & Edinburgh Fringes, Oxford Festival & Derby Guildhall.
