General Election Week 2015, Unity Theatre, Liverpool and China Plate welcome you to U Decide: a festival of theatre, debate and specially commissioned work designed to engage audiences with the key issues surrounding the election. The programme, which features leading theatre companies and artists including Paines Plough, Pentabus and Chris Thorpe, aligns with the history of the Unity Theatre Movement's mission to bring contemporary social and political issues to people in the street. Each night, from the 5th to the 9th May, will feature a mix of performances and talks as well as a specially commissioned 'Ballot Box Ballad' by a Liverpool-based artist covering themes from Welfare and Cuts to Immigration. The festival aims to inspire dialogue, dissent and interest in the democratic processes unfolding at that very moment. Performances include quick-response satire, interactive shows, dialogue with political extremism, musical comedy and a chance to hear the voice of those aged under 18 who can't yet vote.
