Rehearsal still from the 2024 previews.
Making its debut after a preview run at the Worcester Fringe 2024, The General Will will be performed at theSpaceUk during Edinburgh Fringe 2025!
A play that interrogates our choices of resistance, survival and self-progress in crises, The General Will is bombastic, anxious, stupid, lyrical and melancholy as it explores a future of our country, our politics, and our generation. And they’re all clowns.
