“It looked like piles of washing hung out to dry. But they were bodies”

This spring, Chickenshed takes audiences on a journey into the world of cults with The Washing Line exploring the story of Jim Jones and The People’s Temple.

What begins as a vision for an idealistic community descends into a chilling nightmare, raising urgent questions about power, persuasion and the human need to belong.
