dissent at Young Vic

Why see dissent?

Work Hard, Go home, Chill out. Repeat. All You Have To Do Is Comply.

Trailblazing Olivier and BAFTA award-winning playwright debbie tucker green writes and directs this shattering new play, debuting at the Young Vic theatre in March 2027. Set in a slightly altered world of rigorous control and compliance, the film is a singular and venomous examination of freedom of choice and government interference in people's lives.

What Is The Story?

It's an alternate world. And a dangerous one. The state is putting its hand into the lives of everyone, giving out free cigarettes while charging for the air conditioning and promising a life free of stress, as long as you do exactly what's expected of you. Do your job, go home, make no fuss. But what happens if someone dares to question the brutally strict order that's been imposed upon them? What if someone decided not to comply? Standing out can be very dangerous.
