Liberation Squares
Tour synopsis, cast & creatives
The story of three teenage British Muslim girls undergoing a political awakening. The girls forge an unlikely friendship when they meet at a creative writing workshop at the hip new workspace that used to be their library. They challenge each other - ideas, TikToks, lyrics, dance routines. But when they discover the workshop is connected to the state surveillance 'Prevent' programme, they have to fight back. The only question is how? Friendships fracture and loyalties are tested as they pursue different avenues of resistance.
