HOME in Manchester presents the National Theatre’s My Country; A Work In Progress, directed by Rufus Norris, and in the words of people across the UK and poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy from April 18 to 22.
The National has collaborated with eight UK arts organisations to create the new play inspired by the EU Referendum.
A team of interviewers spoke to people around the country and heard opinions that were honest, emotional, funny and sometimes extreme. These are interwoven with speeches from political leaders.
Britannia (played by Penny Layden) calls a meeting to listen to her people: Caledonia (played by Stuart McQuarrie), Cymru (played by Christian Patterson), East Midlands (played by Seema Bowri), North East (played by Laura Elphinstone), Northern Ireland (played by Cavan Clarke) and South West (played by Adam Ewan).
