Just days before the General Election, a young cast will have their own say on some major political issues by taking to the stage of Lancaster’s Dukes Theatre.
Your Country Called…And It Wants You Back investigates issues including immigration, first time voting, trafficking and racism through the eyes of The Dukes’ Young Company and Young Actors.
Multiple stories, many based on real-life experiences, will be mixed DJ-style, with live music performed in The Dukes Rake theatre from April 23-25.
“It reflects modern events that relate to young people and their place in the world,” said director Louie Ingham.
The production was largely inspired by stories from some of the international students.
These include how a young Chinese woman feels about her parents expectations of her as they grow older; another reflects an Algerian student’s first experience of a night out in Lancaster while a Taiwanese student’s delight at seeing snow for the first time is captured in another episode.
