We are raising money for the international debut of Haymarket at the Actor's Church in Covent Garden on the 18th and 19th of September. And we could use your help!
Haymarket is a new folk musical featuring a cast of 12 actor-singer-musicians. It tells the true story of the Haymarket Riot that took place in 1886 Chicago when anarchist labour movement leaders clashed with a brutal police force. It’s a story of the fight for justice, told through song, and led by rebellious organisers, Lucy and Albert Parsons.
What happens when a peaceful protest becomes violent riot? Who can we blame? Who threw the bomb?! With the energy of a campfire tale, the show celebrates the working class and demands us to decide how much the fight for our rights is worth.
Come and help us bring the revolution to life!
