Conversations, dispatches and ideas from the Bush Theatre.
‘Tis the season to buy, buy, buy, and we’re throwing our hat into the ring.
We think, however, that our new season is packed full of plays that deliver the perfect antidote to rampant consumerism. Each play looks at a different struggle for justice. And if that’s not in the Christmas spirit (THINK JESUS) well, we don’t know what is. With no further ado, welcome to our Christmas Gift Guide to Season 2015:
If they gorged on Orange is the New Black. Get them tickets for…
THE ROYALE

If they froth at the mouth about Austerity Britain (or they don’t and you think they should!) Get them tickets for…

If they loved This House by James Graham. Get them tickets for…
THE ANGRY BRIGADE
