There are all sorts of lessons to be learned in life.
How to look inconspicuous.
How to scatter ashes without getting them in your eyes.
How to avoid becoming romantically attached to an undercover police officer.
That sort of thing.
How-to demonstration meets astonishing true story in this extraordinary new show set in the real world of the environmental protest movement.
When a group of protestors occupied a North Sea oil rig in 2009, little did they suspect the lies and betrayals that would follow. And little did they hope for the result of their demonstration.
In Ash, they tell you how to do what they did.
Devised and performed by Kathryn Beaumont, Jack Bennett and Daniel Bye
Devised and directed by Daniel Bye and Dick Bonham
