Making its debut after a preview run at the Worcester Fringe 2024, The General Will will be performed at theSpaceUk during Edinburgh Fringe 2025!
“THE NEWS MAKES ME FEEL / LIKE THE WORLD IS ENDING / EVERY DAY“
An uncontrollable laugh <— A scream into the void.
A stupid play on national themes.
A Clown play.
An epic play.
Crass, bombastic, anxious and lyrical —
mimicking the past, imagining the future.
