The performances will take place simultaneously in all areas of the new Clifftown Theatre and Studios and will show different cultures and moments in history that have led to the creation of today’s Britain. The zones will focus on the Romans, Jewish, Irish, Caribbean, Chinese, Soviet, East European, Huguenots, Pakistani and other groups. The audience can pass through the many worlds and cultures throughout the building. Running time: 1hr 30mins
