Your Voice Your Future: North East
DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE 10-15 MIN PLAY
DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE
Do You Know Who We Are is a 10-15 minuet spoken word play that explores the Northern Working Class experience in 2022. The piece is set a protest taking place in Newcastle City Centre, under Grey's Monument, where one woman speaks her piece before the protest is cut short.
Do you know who we are? We are in the words we speak, but what is speech when it's not free? A voice of a region is being taken, and it's time to stand under Grey's Monument and tell the world who we are. A spoken-word protest about a future which is far too close to reality.
