Occupied
Drama about UK activism telling the story of what happened when radio producers got a little too close to the action.
This drama about UK activism tells the story of what happened when radio producers got a little too close to the action.
With recordings of the protests mixed with drama recordings, actual participants mixed with actors, Occupied creates a world of sound that is both authentic and original.
The play is made in collaboration with artist and activist John Jordan; as well containing sound from within the Fortnum and Mason sit-in it also documents the actual moments when a crowd of activists decide to make camp outside St Paul's cathedral.
What emerges is not only a play about three people trying to make a play - it's about how and why people protest in the UK.
