YOU CAN'T KILL THE SPIRIT

‘You told me it was a party, not a sodding revolution.’ 

​

New Year’s Eve, 1982. From behind her local shop counter, Joan waits for the nuclear sirens to sound. But then brilliant Theresa walks back into her life. Brilliant Theresa wants to take Joan to a party.

 

YOU CAN'T KILL THE SPIRIT is a new play inspired by the world of the Greenham Common Women’s peace camp.​ An opening extract, performed by Georgia Burnell played the sold-out OOFLE DUST New Writing Night at Vaults Festival in February 2023, curated by actors George Mackay and Freya Mavor.

​

It was subsequently read at The London Library as part of a political theatre scratch night, performed by Matilda Bailes.
