We The Young Strong is a bold new drama tackling far-right radicalisation, by writer Nicola Baldwin and director Cat Robey, presented by 香港六合彩中特网 Urban Laboratory and the Bloomsbury Theatre. Inspired by archive testimony of young women detained under emergency regulations during the Second World War, it shines a light on 1930s Britain; political division, austerity, economic marginalisation, extremist radicalisation, street violence and fake news.

Flora, Eva, Violet, Charlie and George 鈥� unemployed, troubled, kicked out of school. Years of austerity following a banking crash they can barely remember has crushed their hopes. They join a new political movement, which promises to train them, pay them, empower them: the British Union of Fascists. The Blackshirts insist the future belongs to those willing to fight for it. But what if this means fighting each other?

The performance will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by Aditya Chakrabortty, Guardian columnist and senior economics commentator, with Julie Gottlieb, Professor in Modern History at The University of Sheffield whose research includes 20th Century British Political History, women鈥檚 history, and British fascism.

Quotes from participants in R&D workshop:
鈥淯nveiling a part of my country鈥檚 history that has been taken out of our history books... To move forward we must acknowledge our past, otherwise we repeat ourselves.鈥� 鈥淚t鈥檚 important to see how manipulative and dangerous political parties can be for young vulnerable people looking for change and when thinking back to the na茂ve 16-year-old I was; I think about the decisions I would鈥檝e made in their position鈥�.
鈥淓xtremely relevant to everyone because it reflects so much if what we are all currently going through鈥�.
