A BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO POPULISM
The villagers of Little Middleton are up in arms about proposals that will spell the end of their village.
Following the announcement of plans to create Middleton Garden City, residents of the village have launched the Save Little Middleton campaign, and hope their campaign will preserve their historic community and keep it out of the hands of property developers and speculators.
Leading the campaign is Parliamentary candidate Antonia Morgan, an odd choice, perhaps, given her previous endorsement of the proposals when she was part of Middleton County Council. But this is modern Britain and modern politics, and this is A Beginner's Guide To Populism.
First performed at Summerhall, Red Lecture Theatre, Edinburgh on 13 November before shows at The Old Hairdressers Studio, Glasgow on 15 November and The Cockpit, London on 17 and 18 November for the 2017 Voila! Europe festival.
