What is ENGLAND ON FIRE about?
ENGLAND ON FIRE is inspired by the groundbreaking artbook of the same name by Stephen Ellcock and Mat Osman. This new production has brought together 40 collaborators across multiple disciplines to create a unique kaleidoscope of mesmerising performances.
Audiences will be transported on a journey into contemporary life that defies all expectations, seen through the eyes of an innocent observer. ENGLAND ON FIRE recounts a search for meaning amidst the challenges of life, modern and ancient. The production also explores trust and betrayal, friendship and love, identity and loneliness, honour and redemption.
Curated by Michael Nunn and Billy Trevitt, ENGLAND ON FIRE will bring together artists both new and returning in a genre-defying spectacle of political and artistic intrigue.
