Jubilee

Faith in the establishment collapsing everywhere. The far right on the march. Culture wars and random violence - all decked out in red white and blue. But a spirit of anarchy hangs in the air the desire to burn it all down and start over.<br/><br/>Derek Jarman's iconic film captured punk at its giddy height: a riot of music DIY fashion and every kind of sex - with a little pyromania thrown in. Forty years on this new stage adaptation of <i>Jubilee</i> remixes it for the social and political turmoil of 2017. <br/><br/>The cast of the original production at the Royal Exchange Manchester was led by one of the film's original cast members legendary punk warrior Toyah Willcox. Centred around a marauding girl gang on a killing spree and a time-travelling Queen Elizabeth I it's a story of what happens when creativity and nihilism collide.
