Riassunto

In the summer of 2011, London was burning. Alecky Blythe took her dictaphone to the streets. From the helicopters circling overhead to the burnt out buildings on the street, this explosive new documentary play records the voices and stories of a community as the riots happened to their present-day aftermath.

Recensione

Absolutely compelling... Diverse, full of potential, rife with simmering discord. I predict a hit. --Telegraph

Alecky Blythe produces 'verbatim' theatre, using the real words of real people from real events and editing them to produce a dramatic performance. ... Little Revolution has a warmth, an optimism about people which may tell us more about 'riot-torn' London than hours of rolling news coverage ever could. --Daily Mail
