Reihe: NHB Modern Plays

A hard-hitting, poignant play about anti-immigration sentiment in Britain today. A fascist demonstration and anti-fascist counter-demo are held in Dover. Bricks are thrown. Tweets are sent. Windows are broken. So are faces. Before and after, near and far, people struggle to understand what happened, and the part they played. Eve Leigh's play Spooky Action at a Distance was first performed at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, created in association with the Royal Court Theatre, before performances at the Gate Theatre, London. The Nick Hern Books Multiplay Drama series features large-cast plays specifically written to be performed by and appeal to young people.
