WORD-PLAY

Presented by The Royal Court Theatre.

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 the team debates 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, explores how language seeps into public consciousness and reverberates with far reaching consequences that will last for generations.
