Theatre: Morale is High (Since we gave up Hope)

Push Festival

The debut from Hodgkiss Award-winning Powder Keg; a theatre-meets-gig that smashes pop and politics in some space age futuristic Hadron Collider, to create an ongoing evaluation of our political climate.

Through intertwining narratives, the show tries to predict what will happen between now and the next general election in 2020, exploring the effects of popular culture, political policy and inane day-today actions on who we choose to vote for.

Morale is High (Since we gave up Hope) has been developed with the help of Theatre Delicatessen in Sheffield and the kindness of Partisan Collective. It is presented here by Powder Keg as part of the Push 2017 Festival. One of three dates: click here for tickets.
