January 6, 2021 — A day replayed on repeat in R3alAm3rican99’s head. In this riveting new solo play by Rosa Maria Alexander, follow how one young man's radicalisation leads him to the steps of the US Capitol.
BEG FOR ME explores the implosive intersection of violent misogyny, the alt-right, and digital extremism. Nearly one year on from the storming of the Capitol, the US has experienced a peaceful transfer of power - but have the forces that brought thousands to protest the results of the election actually changed?
Produced by Part of the Main
Directed by Olivia Munk
Written by Rosa Maria Alexander
Performed by Alex Conder
Movement & Intimacy Direction by Christina Fulcher
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
