Weapons of mass destruction. An existential threat. Betrayal and injustice. We live in hope that we'll never have to experience the effects of nuclear weapons.
But some of us already have... and they are still dealing with the consequences.
A Thousand Sons tells the true story of British Nuclear Test veterans in a powerful solo performance that blends action and poetry with verbatim testimony from a forgotten community of nuclear veterans, used and betrayed by those in positions of power. An eye-opening journey from the past to the present, to shine a light on the truth.
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.
