Hope

My hopeful story is a collective called Commonwealth Theatre in Bradford, led by two forces of nature, Rhiannan White and Evie Manning. Commonwealth is resolutely hopeful because their theatre doesn't require grand old buildings in city centres.
They make radical activist theatre in spaces like boxing rings, in people's houses, and in car parks. They tell working-class stories that need to be heard, which I find deeply inspiring.
