DIRECTOR Rufus Norris
In the days after the EU referendum, the National Theatre of
Great Britain began a nationwide listening project. A team of
interviewers spoke to people around the country – from Leicester
to Derry/Londonderry and Merthyr Tydfil to Glasgow – to hear
their views of the country and town they live in, their lives, their
future, and the referendum.
Using exact words taken from the interviews, My Country: A Work
In Progress puts those conversations centre stage. Rufus Norris,
Director of the National Theatre, collaborates with Poet Laureate
Carol Ann Duffy to create this new performance which opens in
London before starting its UK tour at the Citizens Theatre.
Created in collaboration with Citizens Theatre, Leicester Curve,
Live Theatre Newcastle, Londonderry Playhouse, Sage Gateshead,
Salisbury Playhouse and Strike A Light Festival in association with
Cusack Projects Limited.
