Annie writes:
On the final day of the play's run, I'll be giving a talk at the
Southwark Playhouse between the matinee and evening performances of
"Boiling Frogs". My talk is part of a series of post-play presentations
from well-known civil liberties activists - an interesting new approach
to campaigning and raising awareness!
Drawing on my experiences as a former MI5 intelligence
officer-turned-whistleblower, my talk is called "Are we there yet?" and
focuses on how far down the path towards a police state the UK has moved.
I'll be at the play (starts 3pm) and then speaking at 4.30. The talk is
free, although obviously it would be great if you come to watch the play
too!
If you're around next weekend, it would be lovely to see you for a catch
up during one of my all-too-rare incursions into the UK. After the
matinee and the talk, from 5.30 I'll available for a chat and a catch-up
in the Shipwrights Arms, which is right next to the Playhouse on
Bermonsey Road: http://bit.ly/9aUBBD.
Do come along if you can!

The first full length new play to be developed, workshopped, and
produced by The Factory.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression."
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19.
Inspired by the picnic protests held in Parliament Square between
2005-2007, the action unfolds against a background of ongoing
natural disasters, public riots and the introduction of capital
punishment for terrorists.
"Boiling Frogs" pits a small group of imaginative citizens against
the state as, armed only with fancy dress, blank banners, and
a keen eye for semantics, they attempt to reclaim freedom of speech
for all.
Performed by a revolving cast of nine Factory actors, "Boiling
Frogs" continues to explore the company's unique artistic ambitions
whilst offering audiences a brand new production with a completely
different performance guaranteed every single night.
Written by Associate Member Steven Bloomer
Directed by Artistic Director Alex Hassell
Set, props, costume and poster art designed and painted by the
artist Pochoir
