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, has toured Brighton, Buxton & Edinburgh Fringes, Oxford Festival, and now returns home to Derby Guildhall.

Join Veggies Crew for a Night at the Theatre on Tuesday 29th September.
The season at Derby Guildhall runs from Sunday 27th to Wednesday 30th September.
Not Veggies Catering as such, but you might find us in the bar beforehand with Veggies Cake – Happy Birthday Victoria!
